Something about mango keeps the cake/bread raw even after 1 to 1.5 hours of baking at the recommended temperature. Any idea what's happening? May be there is a reason why there are so few mango cake and mango bread recipes around - compared to, say, banana bread/cake. I love mangos and I love baking, combing the two would be a bonanza for me, but so far, nothing but dismal results in the oven.

I just made this bread and it was a hit with me and the two friends I had over for coffee. I live in the Dominican Republic and both the mango and the lime are such staple ingredients here. It was such a find for me to have something to make incorporating some of the local flavor. I love visiting your blog! Thanks! Hi Joty!

That is a sign of a fantastic recipe! I used 1 cup of frozen, thawed mango, 1 cup of frozen, thawed blackberries, used 1/2 c. of vanilla yogurt and 1/4 c. of oil, reduced the white sugar to 1/2 c. (on account of the vanilla-ed yogurt) used 1 egg and 3 whites, and completely omitted the apple, raisins and ginger because I didn't have any. I know this makes it a completely different recipe, but it turned out to be amazing and a great low-fat treat for my dad! Thank you for this recipe and for your delightful blog!

We are making this for Tuesdays with Dorie in a week or so. It's nice to get a preview and I like your changes too. I am glad you made this so I can see somewhat of what it looks like.

But the end result was delicious. I used the zest of a whole lime but couldn't taste it, I'd use more next time.
