Mango and Coconut Upside-Down Cake Recipe

Ingredients

For the cake
For the Mango topping

Method

Preheat oven to 180 degrees C (355 degrees F). Grease a 24 cm x 30 cm (9 x 12 inch) deep baking pan with melted butter and line the base with baking paper. Make the mango topping, by removing the flesh from the mangoes and cutting into slices. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over moderate heat, add the brown sugar, mix well and simmer for about 60-90 seconds until the sugar is dissolved and well combined. Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and spread evenly over the base. Add the mango slices on top of the brown sugar mixture. Set the pan aside while you prepare the cake mixture. Mix the coconut milk and desiccated coconut in a small bowl and set aside. Using a stand or portable electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar until the mixture is pale and creamy. Add the free range eggs one at a time, beating after each one is added well. Sift the plain and self-raising flours into the bowl with the beaten butter, about half at a time mixing gently with a wooden spoon or spatula. Fold in the coconut mixture and mix until just combined. Spoon the cake mixture into the tin on top of the mangoes, flattening the surface with the back of a spoon. Bake in preheated oven for 30-35 minutes. Use a skewer inserted into the center of the cake to ensure the core of the cake is cooked. Remove the tin and let it stand for 10 minute before removing the cake by inverting onto a serving platter or plate. Serve warm.
