Gluten and Dairy free Mango Teacake

Here is the gluten free version of the mango teacake as promised. For this version, I use the gluten free baking flour, some almond flour and some coconut flour. This cake comes out really well too. I would love to hear your feedback on this recipe.

Gluten and dairy free Mango cheesecake.

Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup gluten free baking flour (picture provided below)

• 1/2 cup almond flour

• 1/4 cup coconut flour (This is optional for added flavor, you can substitute with more almond

flour instead)

• 1 can mango pulp or 30 ounces fresh mango pulp (If canned pulp is used, then sugar is

optional. You can reduce the quantity or skip altogether)

• 3/4 cup powdered sugar (optional)

• a pinch of salt (this enhances and brings out the sweet flavor)

• 4 tbsps oil or butter ( i use canola or saffola oil)

• 1/2 tsp green cardamom powder

• 1 teaspoon baking soda

• 3 tbsps chopped nuts (I use pistachios and almonds

• Few raisins (optional)

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a bundt pan or a square baking pan and keep aside.

2. Mix all the wet ingredients well with a beater.

3. Next add in the gluten free flour, almond and coconut flour and beat until mixed well.

4. Next add in the baking soda and beat well. Mix in the nuts and raisins and the cardamom powder.

5. Pour the batter into the greased cake or bundt pan.

6. Bake until it bakes through and the toothpick, skewer or cake tester comes out clean. It takes about 40 minutes. (Oven temperatures vary, so please check after 30 minutes)

7. Remove from the oven and cool and cut into pieces to serve.

This cake goes well with vanilla ice cream. I sometimes drizzle the slice with some mango pulp and serve with mango pieces. Enjoy!

Notes:

I skip the sugar altogether if I use canned pulp, as the pulp is sweetened. I would suggest that you add the sugar if the pulp is unsweetened, or you add fresh mango pulp (as the mangoes might have some tartness, or if you prefer sweeter desserts. I serve the mango cake with ice cream and /or the mango pulp so don't feel the need of additional sugar.
