Mango Chocolate Marble Cake / Mango Marble Loaf Cake ~ Home Baker's Challenge # 2

After completing after our first Challenge Pizza, a savory bake this time i chosen Mango Chocolate Marble Cake for the second month challenge. Thanks Home Bakers Challenge group members for giving me this wonderful opportunity to Host and give the baking challenge with my desired recipe. Its my long time wish to try this Mango & Chocolate combo, have seen many no bake cakes with this combo but not much the baked version. And more over its summer and Mango, king of fruit is easily available. So i decided to bake this mango-choco combo with you all and i have picked two different recipes, one with Egg & butter and the second one is Eggless & Butterless recipe. I tried the eggless & butter less version and it came out so good, very moist, soft & delicious cake. Actually i picked two recipes with Banana & chocolate combo and experimented with Mango Pulp instead of banana puree. To my surprise the combo turned out perfectly, Mango & chocolate paired well.

Notes:
I did a marble loaf cake but u can very well make marble bunt cake, marble muffins, zebra cake cake also.
Adjust sugar in both the recipes if using sweetened mango pulp to 1/2 cup or less than 3/4 cup.
You can also use fresh mango pulp. Scoop out the pulp from the mangoes and blend it nicely and use it in the recipe.
**Instead of 1/4 cup milk n 1/4 cup buttermilk u can also use 1/2 cup milk alone. second time I did like that.
