Lets say that an electron were pure energy,
what would be its mass be, according to Einstein's
equation e = mcc?

Its value is given by its "relativistic" energy at rest:
Eo = 0.511 MeV = 8.187122E-20 Joules = 8.187122E-20 Kg m^2 s^-2.
Divide it by c^2 to obtain "rest" mass.
But you are not far from some theory about the CHARGE of the electron:
It claims that the charge is due to a single photon enclosed in such a
way that only 2 wavelengths of light (frequency extremely high) exist as
a stationary wave, in a torus with radius lower than E-18 meters.
The electric field of the wave is what gives the charge of the electron,
while the magnetic field cancel itself.

That's pure energy, isn't it?
There are several other theories, but nobody knows what the charge is.
