Mango season, let's make a mango cake

At this hot summer season, mango is our Australian popular fruit, and also they are very cheap and all around the place. So I am thinking mango cake as one nice thing to eat and make. Here is the recipe:

Mango cake

10 grams of melted butter
2 tablespoons of brown sugar
1 large thinly-sliced mango
2 eggs
1/2 cup of castor sugar
1/2 cup of wheaten corn flour
1 tablespoon of custard powder
1/2 teaspoon of cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon of bicarbonate soda

At first, we should preheat the oven to 180 Celsius and lightly grease the sides of a 22cm cake tin. I prefer to use butter to do this rather than olive oil.

Now wait until the tin is greased, take the butter which should be melted now and pour it into the bottom where the butter will form part of the topping. Then put the brown sugar evenly over the butter and then layer on the mango slices.

After that, beat two eggs and the castor sugar into a bowl and mix them until is creamy and thick. And also to remember carefully fold the sifted dry ingredients into the egg and sugar mix.

Final step, put it into the oven and bake for about 20 minutes.
Doesn’t this sound good?

Hi,

I notice you're a fan of my blog (Tempyra.com), thank you for reviewing my site favourably :-).

I substantially altered this recipe (from an old cookbook) for Mango cake to publish on my website and as you've reproduced it here I'd appreciate if you acknowledged its source, which is:
