The title of the recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup diced fresh mango
  • 1 cup brown sugar

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare the Pan

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set it aside.

Step 2: Make the Coconut Crumble

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the softened butter and mix until the mixture forms a crumbly dough. Stir in the shredded coconut. Set the coconut crumble aside.

Step 3: Prepare the Mango Layer

Arrange the diced mango in an even layer on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with brown sugar.

Step 4: Add the Coconut Crumble and Batter

Evenly distribute the coconut crumble mixture over the mango layer, reserving a small amount to sprinkle on top later. Prepare the cake batter according to your preferred recipe, then pour it evenly over the coconut crumble layer.

Step 5: Bake and Serve

Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before flipping onto a serving plate.

Step 6: Garnish with Whipped Cream and Toasted Coconut Flakes (Optional)

If desired, top the cake with whipped cream and toasted coconut flakes for added flair!
