Vegan Mango Cake

I love baking and most of the times I try to do a bake which is healthy or healthier!!! But sometimes, I also love to do sinfully delicious and calorie rich goodies.. Now we are talking the second one here. Mango cake is a great flavorful cake which is easy to put together and tastes great. This is my choice for this month's Vegan Thursdays. Submitting this for V - Baked....

Ingredients
Canned Mango Pulp – 1 ½ cups
All-Purpose Flour – 1 ½ cups
Baking Powder – 2 tea spoons
Salt – ¼ tea spoon
Sugar – ¾ cup (reduce sugar to 2/3 cup if the cake will be frosted)
Oil – 1/3 cup (I added 1 table spoon butter and remaining oil)
Walnuts (chopped) – ¼ cup
Vanilla – ½ tea spoon
Cardamom Powder – ½ tea spoon
Nutmeg Powder – ¼ tea spoon

Method
In a mixing bowl, sieve all purpose flour, salt, baking powder, nutmeg powder and cardamom powder together.
In another jar, cream the butter and set aside. If not using butter, then skip this step
Mix the mango puree, oil, creamed butter, sugar and vanilla to it and mix with a whisk just until you have a smooth batter. Do not over mix or overbeat.
Line your cake mold with butter paper and grease with some butter. Pour in the batter into it and smoothen the top.
Preheated the oven to 180 degrees C Bake about 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Mine took around 28 minutes. I reduced the temperature from 180 to 160 in my convection mode for the last 8 minutes.
Allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Mango Cake is ready to be relished!!
