Vegan mango choco chip cake
With mangoes screaming for attention everywhere, what could be a better way than grabbing them and baking a cake out of them to celebrate the summer!
This cake is mildly sweet, extremely spongy, bursting with the flavour of mangoes and has the crunch of toasted cashews and chocochips. You could use walnuts/almonds/raisins etc, instead. The cake was just right even without any frosting. However if you so wish, you can frost it with whipped cashew cream/coconut cream for added richness in taste and texture.
ok mango lovers, now lets dive in to the recipe!
Ingredients :
- Whole Wheat flour 1 cup
