Mango & Semolina Cake (Egg free), are you surprised to read this? Mango cake, which is generally made during summers / mango season. But, all thanks to the canned fruits, which are available throughout the non-season as well.
I felt this cake to be the most uncomplicated, when compared to the Cherry-Banana Bread (Eggless), Eggless Healthy Dry Fruits & Nuts Cake, cakes that I blogged till now.
Largely because it doesn’t use any flour, which makes it easy as there’s no need to worry about sieve, whisking properly, & the consistency. The semolina / suji / rava used in here, already has a coarse texture that makes it easier.

Things to remember:
I have tried the same recipe with canned sweet mango puree and even with fresh sweet mango puree. Both turned out great.
The icing / frosting I made is also a very easy, simple butter cream frosting that I regularly make. If you wish not to do the frosting just have the cake as it is, which is awesome too!
Since semolina / rava is used, this is NOT A GLUTEN FREE cake.
