Categories     dessert

Time 2h5m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, plus more for buttering the pan
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 large mangoes, sliced into 1/2-inch slices (approximately 2 cups)
1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/4 cups whole milk

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-inch springform pan and set aside.
  • Combine the brown sugar and 4 tablespoons of the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the syrup is bubbling. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook until it turns light amber, about 10 minutes. Carefully pour the butter mixture into the prepared pan and arrange the mango on top, overlapping the slices. Sprinkle the shredded coconut on top and set aside.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl and reserve. Beat together the granulated sugar and remaining 8 tablespoons butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer at high speed until light and fluffy, about 6 minutes. Add the eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla. Add half of the flour mixture and mix at low speed until just combined. Mix in the milk, then add the remaining flour and mix until just combined.
  • Gently spoon the batter into the pan over the coconut and mango and spread evenly. Bake on the middle rack until golden brown and a tester comes out clean, about 1 hour. Let the cake cool in the pan on a rack for 10 minutes.
  • Run a thin knife around the inside edge of the pan, then invert a plate over the pan and invert the cake onto the plate. Let the cake cool completely on the plate, at least 20 minutes, then serve at room temperature.

Yield Makes 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

For topping
2 (1-lb) firm-ripe mangoes, peeled
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
For cake batter
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs, 2 of them separated
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup mango nectar

Steps:

  • Make topping:
  • Standing each mango upright, remove flesh from pit by cutting a thick lengthwise slice from each broad side. (Be careful: Peeled mango is slippery.) Put slices on a work surface and cut lengthwise into 3/8-inch-thick slices.
  • Melt butter in a small heavy saucepan over moderate heat, then stir in brown sugar. Simmer, stirring, until butter is incorporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Spread mixture in bottom of a buttered 9- by 2-inch round baking pan and arrange mango on top, overlapping slices.
  • Make batter:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Beat together butter and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at high speed until light and fluffy, about 6 minutes. Add whole egg and yolks 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Add half of flour mixture and mix at low speed until just combined. Mix in mango nectar, then add remaining flour mixture, mixing until just combined.
  • Beat egg whites in another bowl with cleaned beaters until they just hold stiff peaks, then fold into batter gently but thoroughly.
  • Gently spoon batter over mango topping and spread evenly. Bake in middle of oven until golden brown and a tester comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes. Cool cake in pan on a rack 10 minutes. Run a thin knife around inside edge of pan, then invert a plate over pan and invert cake onto plate. Cool completely on plate on rack.
  • Serve cake at room temperature.

MANGO UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE



Mango Upside-Down Cake image

This mango cake is stunningly simple to make and perfect for when mangoes are in season. It's also relatively healthy as far as cakes go and not overly sweet. The cake is dense and perfect with tea or coffee. I use Alfonso mangoes, but any variety will do.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cake Recipes

Yield Makes one 8-inch cake

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/4 sticks (10 tablespoons) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pan
1 medium ripe pineapple (about 3 1/2 pounds), peeled and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices
1 medium ripe mango (about 3/4 pound), peeled
1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter an 8-by-8-inch cake pan, line it with parchment paper, and butter parchment. Using a 3-inch cookie cutter, cut out rounds from centers of four of the pineapple slices. Using a 1 1/2-inch cookie cutter, cut out the centers of each of the four rounds, and discard; set rings aside. Finely chop enough of the remaining pineapple to yield 1 cup (reserve remainder for another use). Place chopped fruit in a fine sieve set over a bowl to drain.
  • Cut the mango lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Using the 1 1/2-inch cookie cutter, cut out four rounds from mango slices; set aside. Finely chop enough of the remaining mango to yield 1/2 cup; add to the pineapple in the sieve.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat 2 tablespoons butter with the brown sugar until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Using a small offset spatula, evenly spread butter mixture in the bottom of the prepared pan; set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder; set aside. Place a reserved pineapple ring in each corner of the prepared pan. Place a reserved mango round in the center of each ring.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat remaining stick of butter with granulated sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition; scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Beat in the vanilla. With the mixer on lowest speed, add flour mixture in two parts, alternating with sour cream and beginning and ending with flour.
  • Transfer the chopped pineapple-mango mixture to cake pan; discard juice. Using a small offset spatula, carefully spread fruit in an even layer on top of cut-out fruit, making sure to fill all the empty spaces, including any gaps in the corners. Using the offset spatula, spread batter evenly over fruit.
  • Bake, rotating pan halfway through, until cake is golden brown and a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, about 50 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack to cool 30 minutes. Invert onto a cake plate; peel off the parchment paper. Serve cake slightly warm or at room temperature.

1 box vanilla cake mix
2 tablespoons butter melted
1 1/2 t vanilla
4 tablespoons coconut juice or coconut rum (i used rum)
1/4 c plus 2 t pineapple juice
1 c pineapple, coconut or mango yogurt (i used pineapple mango)
1 egg
FOR FRUIT TOPPING
1 16 oz bag frozen mango chunks (the kind with no juice)
1 16 oz bag frozen strawberries (the kind with no juice)
3/4 c light brown sugar
5 tablespoons butter, melted

Steps:

  • 1. Prepare Fruit topping: Melt butter in small sauce pan
  • 2. Add brown sugar and stir until dissolved
  • 3. Pour into 2 9 in cake pans that have been lightly sprayed with non stick spray. Even out on bottom of pans
  • 4. Arrange fruit in pans evenly. Both mangos and strawberries are put into pans while still frozen
  • 5. Prepare cake: Put all ingrediants in a large bowl and mix with electric mixer until well blended. (If mix is too thick to spread onto fruit add some more pineapple juice.
  • 6. Divide batter between two pans and spread gently and carefully over the fruit.
  • 7. Bake in 350 degree preheated oven for about 40 minutes or until cake is set and knife inserted in center comes out batter free.
  • 8. Remove from oven and cool for 5 minutes or so. Then invert pans onto serving plates gently tapping or shaking to loosen cake onto plate. Remove pans
  • 9. Can be served warm or cooled. We tried it warm and then again cool and each way had its own unique taste. The mango and strawberries when combined with the coconut and pineapple work together to tantalize your tastebuds. This one is a keeper and we will be making it often.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure to measure out all of your ingredients and prepare your cooking tools. This will help the baking process go smoothly and efficiently.
  • Use Ripe Mangoes: For the best flavor and texture, use ripe mangoes that are firm to the touch but give slightly when pressed.
  • Caramelize the Sugar: Don't rush the process of caramelizing the sugar. Allow it to cook slowly over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it reaches a deep amber color.
  • Arrange the Mango Slices Evenly: When arranging the mango slices in the baking dish, make sure they are evenly distributed and slightly overlapping. This will ensure that each piece of cake has a delicious mango topping.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can lead to a tough, dense cake. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Test for Doneness: Before removing the cake from the oven, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
  • Let the Cake Cool Completely: Before inverting the cake, let it cool completely in the baking dish. This will help prevent it from breaking.

Conclusion:

This mango upside-down cake is a delicious and impressive dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and tangy mango topping and moist, fluffy cake, this cake is sure to be a hit. Follow the tips above to ensure that your cake turns out perfectly.
