How to Make Mango Cake With Lemon Icing
- **Prepare the Raisins:** Place 1 cup raisins in a small bowl and cover with 1/2 cup boiling water. Let stand for 15 minutes, then drain well and set aside.
- **Cream Butter and Sugar:** In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 3/4 cups packed light brown sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy.
- **Add Eggs:** Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- **Combine Dry Ingredients:** In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
- **Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:** Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 1/2 cups fresh mango puree, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- **Fold in Raisins:** Gently fold in the drained raisins.
- **Bake the Cake:** Pour batter into a greased and floured 13x9x2 inch baking pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (165°C) for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- **Cool Completely:** Let the cake cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before frosting.
- **Make the Lemon Icing:** In a medium bowl, beat 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened unsalted butter with an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually add 2 cups powdered sugar, beating until smooth.
- **Add Lemon Flavor:** Add 2-4 tablespoons lemon juice (to desired consistency) and 1 tablespoon lemon zest, beating until light and fluffy.
- **Frost the Cake:** Spread the lemon icing evenly over the cooled cake.
