Mango Cake with Coconut Glaze

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9” x 5” loaf pan with butter.

  2. Using a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, or a bowl and hand mixer on medium, beat the butter and sugar until creamed and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, then follow with sour cream and vanilla; beat until well combined.

  3. In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the flour mixture to the butter and mix until just combined. With a spatula, fold in the diced mango. Evenly pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50 to 55 minutes, until golden and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center. Carefully remove the cake from the pan and allow to cool on a cooling rack.

  4. In a bowl, whisk together the confectioners’ sugar, coconut milk, and salt until smooth and creamy (add additional coconut milk a teaspoon at a time, if needed, to reach a smooth consistency). Pour evenly over the cake. Once the glaze has set, slice and serve.
