Mango Cake

Ummmmmm, the picture itself was tempting enough when I came across the cake in Purnima's blog here, from where I hopped on to Pushpa's blog where the original one was.
This was lingering on my mind for sometime and there was no peace until I made it and to my delight, it was the best cake I've ever tasted. Moist and light. Not something you can avoid for a long time :)....This is something I know, I will making many more times...So thanx to Purnima and Pushpa.

I just took the exact same recipe from Purnima. She however had not added the lime juice she said. I added that also and the result was indeed a delightful one :)
Take a look at Pushpa's recipe here.
