ingredients

Mango Cake

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspooon salt
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup pureed mango
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

ingredients

Coconut Vanilla Glaze

  • 1 cup confectioner's sugar
  • 1 tablespoon coconut milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Method

  • Step 1

    Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a loaf pan.

  • Step 2

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

  • Step 3

    Peel and roughly chop 2 large or 3 medium sized mangoes. Add to a blender or food processor, and mix well until the fruit is thoroughly pureed.

  • Step 4

    In a separate large bowl, mix together the coconut milk, granulated sugar, mango puree, vanilla extract, vegetable oil, and lemon juice. Mix until well combined, but don’t over do it. Stir just until the sugar is dissolved.

  • Step 5

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Again, be careful not to over-mix.

  • Step 6

    Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Transfer to the preheated oven and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  • Step 7

    While the cake cools, prepare the mango frosting. In a small bowl, combine the confectioner’s sugar, coconut milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until a thick paste-like substance forms.

  • Step 8

    Once the cake has cooled, drizzle with the coconut vanilla glaze.
