Description
A moist and flavorful cake bursting with fresh mango flavor, topped with a shiny citrus glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup fresh mango puree
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup mango juice
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- Fresh mango slices for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×5 inch loaf pan by greasing and flouring it thoroughly.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set this mixture aside.
- In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter with the granulated sugar until it becomes light and fluffy—this should take about 3-4 minutes.
- Add in the eggs one at a time, allowing each to fully incorporate before adding the next. Then, stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gently mix in the mango puree, which should create a beautiful orange batter.
- Alternately add the dry flour mixture and the whole milk to the butter mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined.
- Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Once the cake is done baking, allow it to cool for a bit. Meanwhile, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and mango juice until smooth and glossy.
- Once the cake has cooled, pour the mango glaze over the top, and finish with fresh mango slices for that perfect touch. Allow the glaze to set before slicing into your masterpiece.
Notes
For an enhanced mango flavor, toast the cake lightly before glazing. You can also use frozen mango puree as a substitute.
