MANGO CAKE WITH OLIVE OIL AND GREEK YOGURT

Mango Cake with Olive Oil and Greek Yogurt image

This is a terrific and easy mango cake recipe that turned out even better than I expected. The mix of olive oil and butter along with the Greek yogurt is what I think makes this cake incredibly moist and flavorful. It's great for using overripe mango or even mango that isn't as sweet as you had hoped.

Ingredients

1 cup white sugar
¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
¼ cup olive oil
1 medium egg
1 tablespoon brandy
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ cup Greek yogurt
½ cup milk
2 medium mangoes, peeled and diced

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch springform cake pan.
Beat sugar, butter, and olive oil together in a large bowl until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Mix in egg and brandy.
Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a separate bowl. Mix flour mixture into the wet ingredients alternately with yogurt and milk, stirring just until combined. Gently fold in mango. Spread into the prepared pan; batter will be thick.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen. Invert carefully onto a serving plate or cooling rack. Let cool completely.
