Whole Wheat Mango Cake (Eggless)

This time it was dear hubby birthday. Since he loves mangoes, the option was very simple - Mango cake

This time, I thought I should try with a healthier variety. I used whole wheat instead of maida. And trust me, the taste was just awesome. None of us could make out that it was a whole wheat cake. It was as delicious and as soft as the maida cake. Probably milkmaid had done its trick :)

 
Ingredients:
Whole wheat flour/atta - 1.5 cups
Baking powder - 1 tsp
Baking soda - ½ tsp
Oil \ one-forth cup or ½ cup chopped chilled butter
Milkmaid - 200 grams/half a tin
Mangoo puree - 1 cup
Sugar - 4 tsp
Vanilla essense - 1 tsp

Mango mousse icing: (optional)
Mango puree - one forth cup
Whipping cream - one forth cup
Icing sugar - 2 tsp

Procedure:

Preparing the cake:
1.seive 1.5 cups whole wheat flour/atta, 1 tsp baking powder and ½ tsp baking soda in a bowl. Keep the sieved dry ingredients aside.
2.Take a bowl, add oil to it. Add Milkmaid and beat well. Next add the mango puree and beat it again.
3. Add also the vanilla essence and sugar and then add the sieved wheat flour along with baking powder and baking soda.
4.Beat it well for about 5-10 mins
5. Grease ghee to the baking tray and pour thi into the tray.
6. Preheat the oven at 160 degress for 5 mins and then place this baking tray in the oven for about 40 mins.
7. Insert the spoon in the cake. If the spoon comes out clean, the baking is completed and cake is ready.
8. Once it cools down, decorate it with mango mousse icing.
Preparing mango mousse icing:
1.Mix the cream with sugar and mango puree and beat it well
2. Spread it over the cake once it has cooled down.

 That's my little naughty daughter who has painted the Mango icing over the mango cake for her dad.
Its just like her other painting ;)


Notes:
1. To prepare the mango puree, I have used 2 mangoes and extracted its pulp and then pureed it in the juicer with 2 tsp sugar. The same puree I used also for the icing.
2. As usual, I have prepared this cake in Kenstar OxyFryer. You can also use any convection oven for the same.
