This is a delightful tropical treat that many tropical destinations offer on their menu. It comes from the locals although no one knows exactly who. The cake is a bit difficult to make but well worth the effort!

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 cups sliced, ripe mangoes
• 1 tablespoon margarine
• 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/4 cup oil
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 egg, well beaten
• 1-1/4 cups flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup milk

Directions:

Sprinkle lemon juice over sliced mangoes. Melt margarine in an 8-inch cake pan. Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over the margarine. Place mangoes on top of brown sugar. In a mixing bowl, cream oil and sugar thoroughly. Add egg and mix again. Sift dry ingredients and add alternately with milk. Pour batter over mangoes. Bake about 1 hour in a 375 degree oven. When cake is done, remove from oven and turn it upside-down onto a platter. Serve warm with whipped cream.
This is again, a delightful desert that comes to us from the tropics. Tackle it and enjoy!
