For Mango Loaf:
1 Cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 Cup sugar
2 Tablespoon butter, softened
1 large egg
3/4 Cup mashed, very ripe mango
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
For Ginger Glaze:
1/4 Cup water
3 Tablespoons sugar
2 inch section fresh ginger, peeled and sliced into thin rounds

Steps:

  • Prepare Mango Loaf: 1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 2) In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside. 3) At medium speed of mixer, cream together 1/3 Cup sugar and butter. Add egg and beat well to combine. Add mango and vanilla. Beat until blended. Add flour mixture. Stir just until moist. 4) Pour batter into an 8 x 4 inch loaf pan coated with cooking spray. Bake for 45 to 60 minutes, or until cake tester inserted in center comes out clean. While loaf bakes, prepare ginger syrup: Combine water and 3 Tablespoons sugar in a small sauce pan. Bring to a simmer and stir to dissolve sugar. Add ginger. Simmer until syrup reduces to 1/4 Cup, about 30 minutes. Remove from heat, strain, and discard ginger. Let cool until warm, but not hot. Using a wooden skewer, poke holes in warm loaf while still in pan. Pour syrup over loaf. Let cool in pan on wire rack for 15 minutes. Remove loaf from pan and finish cooling completely on wire rack.
