In the season of Mango, here is an easy recipe for a Vegan Semolina Mango Cake.
All you need is one Bowl and 5 minutes of prep time to make this delicious eggless Suji or Rava cake with mango. Have it as a breakfast loaf or turn in into a delicious Semolina Mango Pudding Dessert with a little variation.
Best part about this Vegan Semolina Mango Cake or Mango Cake with jaggery is that Mangoes lend a bright, rich yellow color to this loaf without using any coloring agent.
Not to forget, Semolina is the key ingredient for this cake. Along with its culinary uses, semolina also benefits weight management, heart health, and your digestive system.
This is one of the most delicious cakes that I have tried. I also love the fact that it requires just 5-6 key ingredients and does not require any special technique to mix or make. You need to dump everything into a bowl, mix and Bake.
How to Bake
You can use any form of baking to make this delicious loaf. Like some people use a stove top oven to bake. Some use any heavy bottomed pan to do their Baking. This recipe is very forgiving. So whatever method you use to bake, this will definitely come out well.
Type of Semolina to use
One thing to note is that fine semolina works best for this recipe. I tried making it with regular semolina which is coarser. The cake tasted delicious and baked perfectly. Only thing was that it was a bit grainy and crumbly. But if you want to make a dessert out of this loaf (by letting it soak in some liquid like Milk and Mango pulp), then any variety of semolina will work fine.
Another alternative is that you grind regular semolina in a blender/grinder to make it fine and then use.
Type of Mango Pulp to use
As far as the mango pulp is concerned, you can use homemade pulp or store bought one. I personally did not find any difference but depending on the variety of mangoes that you use, the color may slightly vary. I have used readymade Kesari Mango Pulp.
