Ingredients:

3 eggs
180g plain flour
180g powdered sugar
180g butter
1 tsp baking powder
1 large, ripe, mango

Method:

Peel and pit the mango then cut the flesh into large dice. Gently melt the butter and set aside to cool slightly.

Whisk together the eggs and sugar in a bowl then work in the melted butter. Sift over the flour and baking powder then work into the egg and butter mix with a wooden spoon.

Add the diced mango then turn the batter into a greased and floured springform cake tin. Transfer to an oven pre-heated to 160°C. Bake for about 50 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through (a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake should emerge cleanly).

Allow to cool in the tin for 10 minutes then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
