How to Make Mango Lassi Cake

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup yogurt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cardamom powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup mango puree
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy. Add the eggs, yogurt, milk, and vanilla; mix until combined.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cardamom, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until incorporated.
  4. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool.
  5. For the filling, mix mango puree with a bit of sugar if desired. For the frosting, beat heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
  6. Once the cakes are cooled, layer them with mango filling and top with whipped cream frosting. Decorate as desired and serve.
