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. 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. 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. 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.

  4. 4

    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. 5

    Then add the wheat-mix to the egg-sugar-mix in the first bowl and stir it well.

  6. 6

    Now, add 3/4 cup raisins (alternatively dried cranberries or cherries) and 3/4 cup nuts. Mix it well.

  7. 7

    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.)

  8. 8

    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
