Notes for Success & Substitutions:
This recipe makes 2- standard loaf pans but you can also bake the batter into 18 cupcakes, 2-8″ cake layers or a 6 cup bundt pan
I know some people are already asking “what can I use instead of fruit powder?”
Fruit purees when added to cake batters can have a tendency to make the texture heavy, dense and rubbery.
Unless of course you get into the science of baking like I did here when converting my Orange Cake to Lemon!
Which is why I love using freeze dried fruit powders
Not only is it super concentrated fruit flavor, but it is dry powder being added to the cake batter~ not liquid!
If you absolutely cannot get your hands on this freeze dried mango fruit though,
You can follow my recipe for Banana Cake and substitute mango puree for the banana puree in that recipe
