Eggless Mango Upside Down Cake Recipe

I never ever let an occasion which needs a cake skip by. Whenever I have to visit someone, I happily make a cake for them. This time, it is my sister whom I was visiting. She got married recently and had been back to  Madurai. I made this for the newly weds. At first I had a flavourful cake planned but the meet got preponed and I had so little time to make the cake. I had two mangoes in my fruit basket, and the only cake that came to my mind was this Upside Down Cake. I have done upside down cakes with pineapple and pear and this is the first I am doing with mangoes. Every time I do upside down cake, I change the caramel recipe used. Once I just sprinkled brown sugar and butter in the pan before lining the pineapples. And once I made a caramel, which turned out thick.

This time it was perfect and now, I have a perfect recipe for the caramel as well as the vanilla sponge. The cake batter is made with a combination of brown sugar and white sugar and the cake tastes so yum with a caramel flavour. It soaks up the caramel from the bottom of the tin and turns out super moist. I couldn’t snap a sliced wedge of the cake, as I had to take the whole cake to my aunt’s house. And I forgot to take my camera with me. So you can only view the whole cake here. But believe me, it was fantastic. You can even go for bananas instead of mangoes. Usually caramel goes very well with all the fruits. So if you try this do not forget to send me a snap. 🙂
