Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• ½ cup shredded coconut for topping

How to Make Coconut Mango Cake

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and shredded coconut.
3. Add the softened butter and mix until crumbly. Then, add the eggs, coconut milk, and vanilla extract. Beat until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
4. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
5. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
6. While the cake is cooling, prepare the mango sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the diced mango, powdered sugar, and lime juice. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring until the mango is soft and the mixture is syrupy. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
7. Once the cake is completely cooled, spread the shredded coconut evenly on top of the cake. Drizzle the mango sauce over the coconut topping.
8. Slice and serve your delicious Coconut Mango Cake!
