MANGO CHOCO MARBLE CAKE
           Mangoes are king of fruits .It's the national fruit of India . It's popular world wide for it's unique flavor , taste and aroma .  Summer is synonymous with mangoes . Though summers in India are dreadful and hated due to the sweat and grime it brings , mangoes make up for it .                The mango is one of the most delicious seasonal fruits grown in India . Mangoes are very versatile and can be enjoyed as it is or as desserts , ice creams and cakes . Even in raw form , this delicious fruit can be enjoyed as pickles, chutneys or savory dishes .
             I have used raw mango to make chutneys ( dip) , lentil ( dal), chicken . So I thought of using mangoes to bake a cake . I paired it up with chocolate and made it as a marble cake .  I must say,it was one of the most amazing cakes I have baked . The subtle hint of chocolate , the contrasting color combination of brown swirls on a golden yellow cake and the crunch of dry fruits took the cake to a height . I just can't remain humble anymore .
                  Summers are about to start . And so will the season of mangoes . I am now thinking of new  mango cake recipes  . Hope to come out with them soon . Till then here is my take on this awesome fruit . Hope you like it and will surely try it. Do leave your feedback

I had baked this MANGO CAKE without the chocolate swirls , on my mother 's birthday a couple of years before she left us forever 😭. As mentioned earlier in one of my other Posts ,my parents were extremely fond of chocolates . So I had  again topped it with assorted chocolates for her to enjoy.  I have used the same recipe as above to bake this cake
