Description

The combination of olive oil, butter, and Greek yogurt adds incredible moisture and flavor to this tasty mango cake.

Ingredients

1 cup white sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup olive oil
1 medium egg
1 tablespoon brandy
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1/2 cup milk
2 medium mangoes, peeled and diced

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch springform cake pan.
2 Beat sugar, butter, and olive oil together in a large bowl until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Mix in egg and brandy.
3 Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a separate bowl. Mix flour mixture into the wet ingredients alternately with yogurt and milk, stirring just until combined. Gently fold in mango. Spread into the prepared pan; batter will be thick.
4 Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen. Invert carefully onto a serving plate or cooling rack. Let cool completely.
