How to Make Vegan Mango Coconut Cake
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 0.5 teaspoons of baking soda, and 0.5 teaspoons of salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, blend 1 cup of mango purée, 1 cup of full-fat coconut milk, 0.5 cups of neutral oil, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring with a spatula until just combined.
  5. Fold in 0.75 cup of shredded coconut until evenly distributed, then divide batter between the prepared pans.
  6. Bake for about 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. Allow cakes to cool in pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Frost with your favorite vegan frosting before serving.
