I ended up using canned mangoes found in the grocery store. At first, I thought they tasted a bit weird out of the can, but it tasted fine when it came out of the oven.
I first pureed one can of mangoes and the other can, I chopped up and put it into the batter itself. It gave it two different ways of getting mango.
As for the glaze on top, I made it with strawberry juice and Puerto Rican rum. It was pretty good except for the fact the glaze was kind of too sticky or something. It was great regardless.
I had made this and Thin Mint cupcakes for the Bake sale. The next couple [or a lot] of pictures are from the Bake Sale on Saturday! Enjoy. [we made $1650 for charity!]
I love the idea of mangoes in the cake- pureed and diced- YUM! Your cake looks so good- I might have to try the substitution next time around. Did you change spices?

ReplyDeleteMangoes? What a great idea. I have some in the freezer that I should use in this.
ReplyDeleteMango cake...oh, that sounds good. And that strawberry glaze sounds to die for.
ReplyDeleteOooh mangoes, they're one of my favorites so I'll have to try the recipe again with them. I didn't know mangoes were available canned, I'll have to check my store. Thanks for that tip :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the bake sale!
Great substitutions for the bread! Seems like exactly what it needs to take it from a fall to a spring recipe!
ReplyDeleteGreat job with the bake sale! I love that you made only a few changes and yet came out with a very different product! What a great spring/summer bread! Sounds like it would be yummy for part of a Mother's day brunch.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea with the mangoes! Sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteWow, nice cake and the idea of using mango :-) Looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteNina, what a great flavor combo! How you ever found canned mango, I have no idea =). Never heard of it but great job.
ReplyDeleteThe bake sale pics look delicious too and you all made some serious money. Beautiful!
What yummy substitutions, great for this time of year!
ReplyDeleteYay for a successful bake sale! I wasn't feeling well on Saturday, so unfortunately I didn't make it into the city to try all the yummy treats.
How fun that you switched it up with mango!! That is awesome. And congrats on such a succesful bake sale!!
ReplyDeleteI love how much you switch things around!! I'd never have thought of using mango. Turns something quite autumnal into something tropical! Yum! Did you use the same spices in the cake??? And well done on the bake sale!!! That's an incredible amount raised! Love R x
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to use mango puree as well as chunks of mango. I love mango!!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds fabulous with the mangoes!
