Recipe Ingredients
Ingredients for the cake
- ½ mango
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 6 eggs, at room temperature
- 200 grams caster sugar
- 200 grams plain flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- pinch of salt
- 60 grams desiccated coconut
- 200 millilitres vegetable oil
- zest of ½ lemon
Ingredients for the frosting
- ½ mango
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 100 grams cream cheese
- 50 grams icing sugar
Methods
1. Preheat the oven and prepare the tin
Preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F) and grease a 10×25 cm (4″×10″) loaf tin.
2. Purée the mango
Peel the mango, cut it in half, and finely purée ½ of the mango for the batter. Set the rest of the mango aside for frosting. Mix the grated ginger into the mango purée and set the mixture aside.
3. Make the batter
In a large mixing bowl, beat the sugar and eggs with a hand mixer until thick and fluffy (about 8 minutes). Briefly stir in the vegetable oil and mango purée into the egg and sugar mixture.
Sift in the flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Add the coconut and lemon zest, then mix everything together briefly.
4. Bake
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf tin. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 45-55 minutes, covering the last few minutes with baking paper if necessary.
Allow the cake to cool in the tin for about 20 minutes. Then carefully turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
5. Make the frosting
Once the cake has completely cooled, use a blender to purée half of the mango with a small amount of milk (set aside 4 thin slices of mango for garnish). In a separate bowl, mix the puréed mango with cream cheese and icing sugar until you achieve a smooth consistency. Garnish the cake by spreading the prepared frosting over the top using a spoon or a spatula.
Add mango slices as a delightful topping. After decorating, refrigerate the cake to set the frosting.
Enjoy!
