Eggless Mango Cake with chocolate toppings

In accordance with a friend’s suggestion, here I go with my first blog in making those lovely, delicious recipes which we have been enjoying since long.

Experimentation is what I love so be prepared for all the unique new dishes, and I am sure you’re going to love them.

The best thing about summers, for a foodie person like me are mangoes and what better than chocolates to enhance its flavor. So I tried combining the two and it came out really well. Just perfect for my little sweet craving. And they are comfort food too, so I don’t think twice before starting and it tasted really yum!!

It was moist, soft, rich and really very yummy.

I barely got time to click pictures while making, as my friends were getting impatient to dig into it. Just managed few pics at last. Enjoy your cooking and do let me know how it was?

tips-

avoid over mixing as then the cake might sink instead of rising up.

mix it in one direction only. Either from right to left or left to right.

Initially Keep 2 tsp mango paste aside for the toppings.

You can use plastic bag alternatively for pouring in your cream. I had a used milk pouch and it worked the same.
