Notes
I have tried with butter, the cake turns out better with oil. I have used canned mango pulp, but you can use fresh mango pulp as well. Adjust the sugar according to the sweetness of the fresh mangoes.Canned pulp is pretty sweet. Also fresh mango has a lot of fiber. Sieve the pulp to remove fiber.
