Mango Milk Cake: A Sweet Handmade Treat

One lazy weekend, I craved the soft, milky sweets from my childhood but found store-bought versions too sugary or full of additives. So, I decided to make my own. With just marshmallows, dried mango, butter, and milk powder, my first attempt was a success! This mango milk cake is tender, creamy, and perfectly balanced with a tangy-sweet mango touch. Now, it’s a must-have for gatherings—friends always ask for extras. If you love homemade treats, this recipe is for you!

🔍 Ingredient Breakdown

The key components are butter, marshmallows, milk powder, and dried mango. Butter adds richness, while melted marshmallows provide sweetness and a chewy texture. Milk powder enhances the creaminess and helps the cake hold its shape. Dried mango lends a vibrant contrast, balancing the sweetness.

This snack is free of preservatives and artificial flavors, making it a healthier choice. Use unsalted butter for better flavor control, and adjust the milk powder (full-fat or low-fat) as preferred. Other dried fruits or nuts can substitute mango for variety.

🍽️Serving Suggestions

Enjoy as a tea-time snack, party treat, or on-the-go energy boost. Freshly made, it’s soft; chilled, it firms up slightly. Pair with black tea or coffee to complement the sweetness.

For storage, cut into pieces and refrigerate in an airtight container (up to 1 week) or freeze (1 month). Avoid heat to prevent softening. Kids can help with mixing and shaping—great for family bonding! Gift-wrapped with a note, it’s a heartfelt present.
