Ingredients
- 1 cup Sorghum flour (jowar)
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 3 medium mangoes peeled and pulped
- 3/4 cup raw cane sugar (or brown sugar)
- 1 pod vanilla (or 1 tsp vanilla extract)
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tbsp Chia Seeds
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
For the sweet lime glaze
- 1/3 cup sweet lime juice
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 2 tbsp sweet lime zest
Instructions
- Pre heat the oven to 180C. Grease and line a 8 inch round pan. I used a ring pan and 4 mini bundtt pans.
- In a large bowl, using a hand mixer whisk together oil and sugar for 2-3 minutes till light and fluffy. You could use butter too here
- Add eggs one at a time and beat till well mixed. Add the mango pulp along with vanilla seeds/extract and beat further for 30 seconds till mixed
- Mix all the dry ingredients namely - flours, salt, baking powder and chia seeds.
- Fold in the dry ingredients in the wet gently in three batches
- Pour in prepared pan and bake at 180 C for 25-40 minutes depending on the pan you are using. A ring or bundtt will bake faster than the round pan. For testing if the cake is done, insert a toothpick and it should come out clean. Let it cool slightly before removing it from the tin.
- While the cake is cooling. Whisk together sweet lime juice and icing sugar well till dissolved and thick. Add the zest mix and set aside.
- Unmould the cake and pour a generous amount of glaze on top. Sprinkle some more zest if you like. Slice and enjoy with a cup of tea!
