Mango and Ginger Cake





So even dietitians make cakes!, I had some over ripe mango's so I decided to make a cake with them, I was inspired by Trinigourmet.com a fellow foodie for this post

Ingredients: 2 cups flour, 2 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 cup margarine or butter, 2/3 cup sugar, 2 eggs, vanilla- I used ginger!,

1. preheat oven to 350
2. sift flour with baking powder and salt
3. cream marg and sugar then add eggs and a little ginger to taste.
4. gently fold in flour and scape the sides add to tin
5 arrange mango on the top with a little butter and sugar in between, I also added a little pineapple

Overall it had light texture and great topical taste, even cakes can be enjoyed as part of a balanced diet, the key is portion control!, that's why I gave some away to my neighbours.

  15. Hi! I found your blog through my mom's. That's so cool you studied in Aberdeen too! I'm just trawling through your older posts, as I like to do when I visit blogs it's a bad habit really, when I found this. I LOVE mango AND ginger but I've never heard of putting the two together! This looks interesting, I'm quite curious to try this out to see what it tastes like. Two of my favourite foods in one, I'd say that sounds pretty good ;)
