Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until well mixed.

Mixing

  • In a separate bowl, combine the coconut milk, mashed mango, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix well to ensure everything is fully blended.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cake light.
  • Fold in the shredded coconut until evenly distributed.

Baking

  • Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Once baked, allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serving

  • Once cooled, decorate the top with fresh mango slices and serve with coconut whipped cream if desired.
