Delicious Mango Upside-down Cake Recipe to Try Today

Ingredients

Servings:
10
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (sifted)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups ripe mangoes (peeled and sliced)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 cup milk (whole or buttermilk)
  • 1 cup pecans (chopped, optional)

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Prepare the Oven and Pan

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.

    Line the bottom with parchment paper for easier removal.
  2. Make the Topping

    In a small saucepan, melt 1/2 cup of butter and mix with brown sugar until dissolved. Pour into the prepared pan.

    Arrange sliced mangoes on top of the sugar mixture.
  3. Mix the Batter

    In a large bowl, cream together the remaining butter and granulated sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well.

    Incorporate vanilla extract for added flavor.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.

    Sift the mixture to avoid lumps.
  5. Combine and Bake

    Gradually mix dry ingredients into the wet mixture, alternating with milk. Pour batter over the mangoes in the pan.

    Smooth the top for even baking.
  6. Bake the Cake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

    Keep an eye on it towards the end to prevent burning.
  7. Cool and Serve

    Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate.

    Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream.
