Servings

1 loaf (8-10 slices)

Ingredients

2 cups very ripe fresh mango, finely mashed or pureed (approx. 3 mangos)

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking soda

½ tsp salt

1 tsp ground cinnamon

½ tsp ground ginger

½ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled

¾ cup granulated sugar

½ cup packed light brown sugar

2 large eggs, room temperature

1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions

Prep Equipment: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard 9×5-inch loaf pan and line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
Combine Dry Sift: In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground ginger until uniform.
Process Wet Base: In a separate medium bowl, whisk the melted butter, white sugar, and brown sugar together until no lumps remain. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract and the mashed ripe mango puree.
Fold to Batters: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Use a rubber spatula to fold the mixture together gently until just combined. Stop folding as soon as the flour pockets disappear to prevent a dense bake.
Bake and Set: Pour the thick batter into your prepared loaf pan. Bake for 55-65 minutes, checking center doneness with a toothpick (it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs). Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire cooling rack to cool completely before slicing.
