12 servings
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| ½ | cup | Butter |
| 1 | cup | Granulated sugar |
| 3 | Eggs | |
| 2 | Mangos; pureed to equal 1 c | |
| 2 | cups | All-purpose flour |
| 1 | teaspoon | Baking soda |
| ¼ | teaspoon | Salt |
| ½ | cup | Crystallized ginger; cut into small dice |
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350°. Butter a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan. In a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar until well blended. Add the eggs, one at a time, and continue beating until the mixture is creamy.
Stir in the mango puree. (The mixture will look "separated," but will come back together when the dry ingredients are added.) In a small bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt. Using a wooden spoon, stir the dry ingredients into the creamy mixture. Be careful not to overmix. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the crystallized ginger. Spoon the batter into the loaf pan.
Bake for 1 hour. The cake should be golden brown and feel firm when lightly pressed with your fingertips. Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
