Mango Cake (Gluten-free + Sugar free)
Summers are taken over by mangoes, an absolute luscious and refreshing indulgent. The king of fruits is titled so, not because of its mouth-watering flavour, but because it is bundled with nutrients such as vitamin C, fiber and essential minerals.
This tropical fruit, although is great to enjoy as it is, brings out a range of flavours when incorporated into a variety of dishes.
Mangoes contain high amounts of natural sugar and so it makes for a great smoothie, lassi, cake, pudding and pie! It is also relished in savoury dishes like salads, chutney and curries – it’s versatility knows no bounds!
