Description

A delightful cake combining the tropical flavor of ripe mango with the rich crunch of macadamia nuts, topped with a warm honey syrup.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground cardamom
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150g) brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) milk
  • 1 cup (150g) ripe mango, chopped
  • 1/2 cup (60g) macadamia nuts, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) honey syrup (honey warmed with a splash of water)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dry ingredients by whisking together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cardamom, and cinnamon in a medium bowl.
  2. Chop the ripe mango and macadamia nuts, setting them aside.
  3. Cream the softened butter and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract and milk.
  5. Gently fold in the dry ingredients, chopped mango, and macadamia nuts until just combined.
  6. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 45-50 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
  9. While the cake bakes, prepare the honey syrup by warming honey with a splash of water in a small saucepan.
  10. Once baked, cool the cake in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and drizzle with honey syrup before serving.

Notes

  • Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • Refrigerate for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Use ripe mango for the best flavor.
  • Check for doneness a few minutes before the suggested baking time.
