How to Make Mango Lime Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 160°C (320°F). Grease and flour a 24-26cm springform tin.
  2. Arrange sliced mangoes attractively on the base of the prepared tin.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, lime zest, and caster sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder.
  6. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, alternating with the ground almonds and lime juice, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  7. Gently pour the batter over the mangoes in the prepared tin.
  8. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool in the tin for 10 minutes before carefully releasing the sides of the springform tin and inverting onto a serving plate.
  10. While the cake is cooling, prepare the syrup: In a small saucepan, combine the 50g caster sugar and 2 tbsp lime juice over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the syrup simmers for about 2 minutes.
  11. Drizzle the warm lime syrup over the inverted cake.
  12. Serve warm or at room temperature with your choice of thick cream, sorbet, or ice cream.
