Now as I am aware there is always the ever so famous Upside Down Pineapple Cake, I have decided to make a switch. Instead, I decided to bake an Upside Down Cake with Mango (yuMmm.. I just love Mango). With their sweet, juicy flavour, these golden orbs are perfect to go into any sweet treats. From mango lassi (a thick smooth yogurt drink), mango sorbet, mango granitas, to cakes and crumble, it sure bring a lush taste of the tropics to your home.

To serve, this lovely moist crumbly Mango Upside Down Cake, I drizzled the cake with lovely golden nectar, Mango Syrup which is so easy to make. To take it up a notch, serve this cake warm and with a lovely scoop of Vanilla ice-cream. Another perfect ultimate weekend treat, to cool off those hot days.

This looks so good!!! I think I'll have to make this!

ReplyDeleteI am saving this recipe! The syrup that you used with the fruit layer definitely is different from the sauce used with the pineapple upside down cake, very unique! Also, I like that you used a loaf cake, perfect for a smaller group. Your pictures really do tempt. Enjoy the weekend, sweet friend.
ReplyDeleteBtw Tina, should there be left over mango syrup, it can be used in a drink..;).. add it to fruit punches ;). Have a good week ahead too!! hugss
DeleteThanks for stopping by. Your mango cake look so good and tempting!

Thanks Sandra! This cake is really moist, though it's my first time experimenting with almond meal. I hope you will like it as much I did, as I can never resist mangoes myself too. xoxo
DeleteTHe mango Upside Down cake looks delicious:) I love the combination of mango and vanilla. I need to give this a try for our company cook out. Thanks for a great post! Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteThanks Geri!! Do give it a try, and it's even better when served warm with a scoop of vanilla bean ice-cream.. Cheers!
DeleteJoanne me darling, never failing to impress with me with her amazing and creative baking mojo!
ReplyDeleteI'm usually not a beg fan of upside down cakes because let's face it: They're not the prettiest kind. ;)
Your method of baking it in a loaf pan and the way you've sliced and presented them makes me reconsider my opinion of them, however. ;)
Beautiful cake and photos!
BIG HUGS Tobias!! Thanks so much for your kind support.. I sure hope to continue to explore and bake more goodie treats.
DeleteI rarely bake upside down cake, thinking alike just like yourself. However, with the loaf pan, it turn out not too bad, if I say so myself!! Till then and you continue to inspire us all.. xoxo, Jo
That looks so tasty and beautiful! I love the photographs. I think I have some almond meal, hmmmm.... :-)

Awww.. it's good to sleep in once a while. All of us need it, and with you moving to a new place, a rest and longer sleep is a well deserved one. I can't wait for you to try this recipe Gina, and I miss you all heaps!! xoxo..
DeleteThis is so fabulous, Jo! I think I love it even more than pineapple upside down cake!
ReplyDeleteLOL.. this is my new found love too.. thanks Stephanie!! xoxo
DeleteHi Jo-your mangos look so different than ours. The color, especially!
ReplyDeleteOurs is more on the rosy color side, and the fruit itself is more on the golden side, where as yours is more yellow!
Love how you matched up all the colors together to compliment the cake, which looks ever so Yummy!!!
Also, your recipe is a lot more legible,than before...even when you clicked on it you could hardly see the words.
Great job, and superb cake!
Huggsss,
Hi Elisabeth! As for the mangoes, we have the ruby ones here too with the golden flesh on the inside. However, usually the mango flesh can be really soft once they are riped. For this recipe, I chose to use a slightly firmer flesh mango. These are the yellower flesh on the inside. However, any mango would work well with this recipe, since I am no pro in mangoes. LOL.. As for the recipe cards, try zooming in by clicking on the mouse. Sometimes blogspot minimizes our photo. I have viewed it using my Android phone, by zooming in on the recipe card, and the wordings mostly appeared clear. Hope the helps too.. Thanks for the input too and take care.. Huggss
Deletei absolutely love these mangoes! Mangoes in Asia are just different from those red ones! It goes without saying both are delicious! I think you took it up a notch with the Vanilla syrup :) YUMMYLICIOUS!
ReplyDeleteYou know Jes, any mangoes will work well with this cake. The sweeter the mango the better the aroma will be, and be sure to have it warm. I like serving it drizzled with the mango vanilla syrup and a scoop or really good vanilla ice-cream. Thanks for the support too ;P.. huggs
DeleteThis cake looks amazing! i love mangoes, but haven't done much baking with them - i think i need to do do something about that and make this!
ReplyDeleteI hope you do try them soon Jenn, and you might decide to make it again.. I would make this again when I get my hands on some pretty good mangoes. Have a good week ahead!! Cheers~
DeleteCan't wait to make this! I love mango, what a great recipe! I randomly found your blog, and I am so happy I found it! Can't wait to check out more of your stuff now !
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping over Carmen! I hope you do make this cake, as it's seriously lovely.. well to me it is that is ;). Hope you like it as much I did.. xoxo
DeleteThis looks so good! I love mango and upside down cake - perfect. Great blog. Dori from Malibu Kitchen
ReplyDeleteThanks Dori, have buzzed you over at your blog..and am following you back!! cheers,
DeleteYou rock my world Jo. This is fantastic. You give good cake.
ReplyDeleteLooks interesting. Does the mango still taste like fresh mango in the finished product? I've tried making baked good with mango before and was disappointed because the taste resembled pumpkin when baked. Tried mango cheesecake and mango pie. Everyone that tried the mango pie thought they were eating pumpkin pie. Love mangoes but can't seem to keep that flavor when baking them. Does the syrup make a difference? Would really love to keep the mango taste.
ReplyDeleteHi Suez Kitchen! Thanks for popping over. Between fresh mango and cooked mango taste, there will be a slight difference. For this Mango upside down cake, it did not taste like mushed pumpkin in any way. For this cake, I chose a firmer mango flesh, not over ripe and cooked it in lime sugar syrup. From what I discover, that helps to retain the taste of the mango and held it's shape nicely. Once baked, the mango flesh will be much softer than before, but will not become mushy. So I think by choosing a less ripe mango helps, and the sugar syrup is key to enhance the taste of the mango too. Hope that helps!! Cheers, Jo
DeleteYour site is so lovely. Please tell me the next time you have a linky party. I would love to put a link in. You can find me at www.noshingwiththenolands.com Cheers, Tara
