Number Of Ingredients 13

3 mangoes
11 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup sugar
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups self-rising flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons grated lime zest
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/4 cup macadamia nuts, chopped into small pieces
Cream or ice cream, for serving
Syrup
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup sugar

Steps:

  • FOR THE CAKE: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-inch springform cake pan.
  • Peel and pit the mangoes. Cut into thin strips. Arrange mango slices on the bottom of the pan, covering it completely.
  • Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Sift together the flour and baking powder and fold into the butter mixture alternately with the lime zest, lime juice and macadamia nuts.
  • Pour the batter over the mango slices. Bake for 50 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to 300 degrees F and bake for 30 minutes more, until a skewer inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean. Cool in the pan on a rack for 10 minutes.
  • FOR THE SYRUP: Combine the lime juice and sugar in a small nonaluminum saucepan. Stir over low heat until the sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil and boil for 3-4 minutes, until the syrup thickens slightly. Invert the cake onto a serving plate and brush with the lime syrup.
  • Serve immediately with cream or ice cream.
