Kwanzaa Recipes: Glazed Mango Pound Cake

[Guest guest]

Glazed Mango Pound Cake

 

If you can't find mango nectar in the juice section of

the grocery store, use orange juice for the glaze. Use

just enough juice in the glaze so it will evenly coat

top of cake and drip slightly down edges.

 

 

1-1/2 cups butter

6 eggs

3 cups all-purpose flour

1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1-1/2 cups granulated sugar

1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla

1/2 teaspoon almond extract

1/2 cup finely chopped, peeled mango

1-1/2 cups sifted powdered sugar

3 to 4 teaspoons mango nectar or orange juice

2 mangoes, peeled and sliced

 

 

1. Allow butter and eggs to stand at room temperature

for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 325 degree F. Grease

and flour a 10-inch fluted tube pan; set aside. Stir

together flour and baking powder. In a large mixing

bowl beat butter with an electric mixer on medium

speed for 30 seconds. Gradually add sugar to butter,

about 2 tablespoons at a time, beating on medium to

high speed about 6 minutes total or until very light

and fluffy. Add vanilla and almond extract.

2. Add eggs, one at a time, beating 1 minute after

each, scraping bowl often. Gradually add flour

mixture, beating on low to medium speed just until

combined. Fold in the finely chopped mango. Pour into

the prepared fluted tube pan.

3. Bake in a 325 degree F oven for 60 to 65 minutes or

until a wooden toothpick inserted near center comes

out clean. Cool on rack for 10 minutes; remove from

pan. Cool thoroughly on wire rack.

4. For glaze, in a small mixing bowl stir together

powdered sugar and enough of the mango nectar or

orange juice to make of drizzling consistency. Spoon

glaze over cooled cake, allowing it to drizzle down

sides. Serve cake with mango slices. Makes 16

servings.
