Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and pureed (about 1 ½ cups)
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 ¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • Zest of 2 limes
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • ½ cup (120ml) buttermilk, room temperature
  • For the glaze (optional):
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 tsp finely grated lime zest

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 10-inch bundt pan thoroughly with butter or non-stick spray, then lightly dust it with flour.
  2. Peel and cube the ripe mangoes, then puree them in a food processor or blender until smooth. Set aside about 1 ½ cups (360ml) of mango puree.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat ½ cup (115g) softened unsalted butter with 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  4. Beat in 3 large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Stir in the mango puree, zest of 2 limes, and 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mango mixture, alternating with ½ cup (120ml) buttermilk. Start and end with the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined.
  8. Transfer the batter to the prepared bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Tap the pan gently on the counter to release any trapped air bubbles.
  9. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes before inverting onto a cooling rack.
  11. Optional: Whisk together powdered sugar, lime juice, and lime zest for the glaze and drizzle over the cooled cake.

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients for best results. Do not overmix after adding flour to avoid a dense cake. Fresh mango puree and fresh lime juice/zest are key for vibrant flavor. Tent with foil if edges brown too fast. Glaze while cake is still warm for best absorption.
