INGREDIENTS¼ Cup butter ¾ Cup sugar½ Cup mango puree1 large egg (whisked)1 Tsp. vanilla extract2 Tbsp. lime juice1 Tsp. lime zest1 ½ Cup all-purpose flour1 ½ Tsp. baking powder½ Tsp. baking soda½ Tsp. salt¼ Tsp. ground cinnamon ¼ Tsp. ground cardamom1 Cup chopped walnuts1 Cup mango (diced)Mango Sweet Bread Glaze1 ½ Cups powdered sugar 1 Tsp. lime juice 1/8 Tsp. salt 3 Tbsp. mango puree

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray coat a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan, making sure the spray covers the corners and edges.

In a large bowl cream the butter and sugar. Add the mango puree, egg, vanilla, lime juice, and lime zest and mix until smooth.

In a separate large bowl combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and cardamom; whisk to combine completely.

Add the butter mixture to the flour mixture, stirring just until the dry ingredients are moistened.

Using a spatula, fold the walnuts and diced mango into the cake mixture, making sure to combine all ingredients for even baking.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, and bake for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Set the pan on a rack and cool for 10 minutes before removing to ensure that the loaf comes out clean. Turn the loaf onto the rack and cool completely, about an hour.

In a small bowl mix the powdered sugar, lime juice, salt, and mango puree until the sugar is completely incorporated and the mixture thickens. Taste for salt and add as needed.

Once the bread is completely cooled drizzle the glaze over the top or serve in a ramekin to spread on the slices.
