About This Cake

Fruit flavoured cakes are my family favourite. I love filling cakes with lots of seasonal fruits. Fruits are versatile ingredients that can elevate cakes in numerous ways. They not only bring taste, texture, and flavor but also add a nutritional boost to the dessert.

Of many fruit cakes, mango semolina cake is one of the most loved recipe among my friends and family. I find this mango cake easy to make and perfect to satiate sweet little cravings with no guilt.

I made the cake recipe straightforward. You could enhance it by tossing in your favorite nuts. I also provided some ideas in tips and variations below on how you can modify the recipe.

What is Semolina?

Semolina is a milled flour of durum wheat, used mainly in making pasta. In North India, semolina is called sooji or suji, which is mainly used in making halwa, kheer, etc. In South India, semolina is called rava, which is mainly used in making upma, pongal, payasam, etc.

Semolina is indeed known as suji or rava, so calling this cake Mango Rava Cake or Mango Suji Cake would be spot on.

Main Ingredients To Make Mango Semolina Cake

Semolina: You will need fine semolina to make this cake. If fine semolina is not available, then pulse semolina in a jar for 10 seconds. The cake should be grainy not soft.

I roasted the semolina; you can skip that step. Roasted semolina bring nice taste and flavour in cake.

Mango: You can either use mango juice or pulp. If mangoes are in season, prefer using pulp. If not in season, then you can use mango juice.

Cardamom: A pinch cardamom powder brings nice aroma in cake. Cardamom with mango, is match made in gastronomical heaven.

Olive Oil: I prefer using olive oil in mango cake. This too complements the flavour of cake.

Icing Sugar: I generally prefer using icing sugar in my microwave cake recipes. Icing sugar is fine and tends to dissolve easily making it best for microwave cake.

Tips and Variations:

• Make sure to grease the microwave-safe mug or bowl well before pouring the batter to prevent sticking.
• Microwave cooking times may vary depending on the wattage of your microwave. Start with the recommended time and adjust as needed.
• Banaganapalli or Imam Pasand or Alphanso are my choice of mangoes for any dessert recipes. These mango varieties are natural sweet and bring in good flavour in any recipe.
• Add a handful of chopped nuts such as almonds, cashews, or pistachios for added crunch and flavor.
• Sprinkle some desiccated coconut on top before microwaving for a tropical twist.
• If available, try adding dried cranberries or black raisins. This taste delicious in a mango cake.
• I used olive oil, you can use any flavourless oil like sunflower or canola oil.
• Serve the cake warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an indulgent treat.
