Mango madness!

This one was inspired by my amazing husband as I am not a mango lover. So, in celebration of him and his love of all things mango, these recipes are for him (and all of the other mango lovers out there).

Mango snack cake

https://pinchofyum.com/mango-snack-cake#tasty-recipes-37959

Ingredients

• 2 mangoes
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 cup flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ cup turbinado sugar (aka raw sugar, sub white sugar)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350. Slice and peel the mangoes. Place mango flesh in a food processor or blender and puree for 10-20 seconds (I like to leave some chunks in it).
2. Combine mango puree, sugar, and egg in a small bowl and whisk until smooth. Add flour and baking soda and stir until just combined. Pour into a small baking dish (8×8 or comparable). Bake for 20 minutes or until just barely set.
3. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with turbinado sugar. Turn on the broiler and return to the oven for 5-8 minutes, watching the sugar so it doesn’t burn. It should turn a golden brown color and melt into a shiny top layer. Remove from the oven when the top is golden brown all over and let cool for 15 minutes. Top with butter, just because.
