    4. Grease and flour the baking tin or tart shells or muffin moulds as you usually do when baking cakes or line the pan with parchment paper.
    5. You can use 2 medium sized alphonso mangoes to get 1 cup of mango pulp. Do not add water while pureeing the mangoes as the mango pulp should be thick and not watery. It is preferable to use alphonso mangoes as it gives a nice color and taste to the cake.

Notes

I used canned pulp which has sugar so reduced the quantity of sugar to 1/4 cup
