This is a tasty cake recipe, which reminds me a little bit of christmas because of the nuts, the dried fruit and the hint of cinnamon in it.
I hope you'll enjoy it! ^^

You Will Need (11 things)
- ½ tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 ½ cup Brown Sugar
- 2 tsp Baking Soda
- ¾ cup Raisins or dried cranberries or cherries
- ¾ cup Sunflower Oil
- 3 Egg(s)
- 2 cup diced Mango
- 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
- 2 cup Wheat Flour
- ¾ cup minced Nuts
Steps (9 steps, 25 minutes)
-
1
Grease your cake pan with some butter.
(I used a German “Kastenform” with the measures 25x13.5x6.5 cm;
the American equivalent might be a loaf pan of about 9.84”x5.31”x2.56”, I think.) -
2
Then take some brown sugar and cover the greased inside of the pan with it.
(That will become a sugar crust on your cake after baking.) -
3
After that, take a bowl and mix 1 1/2 cups brown sugar, 3 eggs, 3/4 cups sunflower oil and 1 tsp vanilla extract in it until creamy.
Then add 2 cups chopped mango and stir a little.

Take a second bowl and mix 2 cups wheat flour, 2 tsp baking soda, 1-2 tsp cinnamon and 1/2 tsp salt in it.
-
5
Then add the wheat-mix to the egg-sugar-mix in the first bowl and stir it well.
-
6
Now, add 3/4 cup raisins (alternatively dried cranberries or cherries) and 3/4 cup nuts. Mix it well.

While filling the dough into your pan, preheat the oven to 356°F (180°C).
Bake the Mango Bread about 45-55 minutes.
(How long exactly, depends on your oven! I used a European standard oven with “Ober-/Unterhitze” (= upper and lower heat) and it took about 50-55 minutes.) -

The “Knitting-Needle-Test”:
Test the cake from time to time with a clean metal knitting needle.
Stick it into the cake.
When there’s no dough remaining on the needle - when you pull it out again - the cake’s ready.

And then - with the famous words, that the notorious French Queen Marie Antoinette is supposed to have said -
"Let them eat cake!" LOL ;P
