This delicious cake, a family favorite, originated years ago with a great-aunt who lived in Florida and had her own mango tree. It's a sweet, moist cake, with slightly crisp edges. Ingredients:
1/2 cup sugar |
1/3 cup canola oil |
1 egg |
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
3/4 teaspoon baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
3/4 cup chopped peeled mango |
1/4 cup chopped pecans |
confectioners' sugar and whipped topping, optional |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, beat the sugar, oil and egg until well blended. In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg; gradually beat into sugar mixture and mix well. Fold in mango and pecans.
2. Transfer to a greased 6-in. round baking pan. Bake at 375° for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
3. Garnish with confectioners' sugar and whipped topping if desired. Yield: 4 servings.
