Eggless Mango Cake

It is going to be almost a month since I had Mangoes. After eating too many mangoes, both in fruit form and dish form, I decided no more mangoes for this season. But day before yesterday, when we went shopping, saw fresh mangoes, and they were inviting! While eating the mangoes, Hubby asked me why don’t you prepare Mango dessert. Being a dessert lover, if I hear this, I can’t stop myself. But was confused what to cook. That’s when my friend called me casually and asked why am I not baking these days. I released it is been long time since I baked, so thought of making a Mango cake. I have never tried Mango cake before, and I wanted to try eggless version, as I have read that fruit pulp, yogurt and vinegar are great replacements for eggs. Google without you what will I do 😉 Referred many recipes, and liked the one by holy cow! vegan recipes. Made few changes to that, and here is my version of mango cake.

Mango Mousse (without eggs)

Anything with Mango is delicious. I wanted to make mango smoothie but without eggs/gelatin. Had some heavy whipping cream in fridge, so thought of using that.  I have prepared mousse with eggs before, but this was my first attempt with heavy whipping cream. Happy that it came out good! This mango mousse is super easy. Only four ingredients, no gelatin, no eggs and no cooking needed.
