Notes
Sifting the dry ingredients makes sure that there are no lumps before mixing them with the wet. This prevents overbeating the batter. This recipe for mango cake calls for combining only until you stop seeing dry streaks.
The batter of the mango cake is very thick. So, please refrain from adding extra liquid. The purée and yogurt lend it enough moisture during baking that it will definitely not be dry.
Just in case the batter feels too dry, add a tablespoon or two of warm milk.
Use a kitchen scale to measure the ingredients. This ensures better and consistent results every time.
