These charming little mango cakes are a sweet little snack or delightful dessert for friends and family.
Ingredients
- 90g unsalted butter, softened, plus extra melted butter to grease
- 1 large mango, peeled, thinly sliced
- 185g caster sugar
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 60g self-raising flour
- 2 tablespoons desiccated coconut
- 2 teaspoons grated lime rind
- 40ml (2 tablespoons) coconut milk
- 1 lime, juiced
- Pouring cream, to serve
Method
- Step 1Preheat the oven to 190°C.
- Step 2Grease four 250ml (one cup) muffin holes with melted butter.
- Step 3Lay the mango slices in the bottom of each muffin hole to cover the base.
- Step 4Place the butter and 120g of the sugar in a mixer and beat until pale and light. Gradually add the eggs, then fold in the flour. Stir in the coconut and lime rind, then add the milk, stirring the mixture gently until everything is combined. Divide the mixture between the muffin pans and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden and cooked through (they are ready when a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean).
- Step 5Meanwhile, place the lime juice, 125ml (1/2 cup) water and the remaining sugar in a saucepan over low heat, stirring, until the sugar dissolves. Increase heat to high and simmer for five minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Step 6Drizzle the syrup over the cakes in the pan and leave for 10 minutes to cool, then turn out over a baking tray (to catch the syrup). Serve with cream.
