Yes its THAT good. Second thing, if you like this recipe, there are tons more on the blog like it! Also, the pic below is a collage of signs that all the kids close to my mom wishing her a happy birthday. The irony is that i made my sign for HER birthday on MY birthday.

8. Keep an eye the last 5-10 minutes to ensure the cake doesn't over bake/ burn.

Recipe Notes

1. You can reduce the sugar if you don’t like a sweet cake. My mil found this overtly sweet but the rest of us loved it that sweet. 
2. You can substitute brown sugar/ coconut sugar for white sugar. 
3. You can add/ reduce mangoes as desired. 
4. As mentioned above, add 3/4 cup butter milk/ curd initially and if required, add more. 
5. If you are sticking the toothpick right where a mango piece is, your stick’s not going to come out clean. So use your judgement there and don’t over cook your cake.
