Instructions
Creating Fluffy Mango Cake Magic is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add Eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Mix in the vanilla extract.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined.
6. Add Mango Puree: Gently fold in the mango puree and lime zest (if using) until well combined.
7. Bake: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. Cool: Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 15 minutes, then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
9. Frost (Optional): Once cooled, you can frost with whipped cream or enjoy plain for a lighter option.
10. Garnish: Top with fresh mango slices for an extra touch of flair.
By following these simple steps, you will create a delightful Fluffy Mango Cake Magic that will impress everyone at your gathering.
