Method
- To make the Streusel Topping, combine all the ingredients listed above with hand until it forms a crumbly mixture.
- Make sure you rub the butter evenly into the mixture for even texture.
- Heat the oven to 350 degree F.
- Lightly coat a 9" x 9" cake pan with butter and dust with all-purpose flour, or use non-stick cooking spray.
- Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a large mixing bowl.
- Beat the butter and sugar in a separate bowl until light and fluffy.
- Now beat in the eggs, one at a time, whipping a lot after each addition. Mix till soft peaks form.
- Now slowly add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, beating continuously as you combine the two.
- If you are using a large spoon or hand beater, make sure you are always stirring in the SAME direction (clockwise or anticlockwise).
- Finally add in the vanilla essence and mango puree and blend everything together.
- You can choose to add the chopped mangoes in the batter or use them as a top layer, as I did.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan; top with the mango slices and then cover completely with the streusel mixture.
- Now bake for 35-40 mins at 350 degrees, or until the edges have separated from the sides of the mould and a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the cake cool on the wire rack for at least 15-20 mins.
- For a breakfast option, slice your Mango Cake and serve with tea or coffee.
- To enjoy as a dessert, cut into wedges, top with vanilla ice cream, and garnish with more mango slices!
