Mango Pound Cake

I am still on the mango kick. With all the mangoes we picked, no wonder. If you are new here, remember all the mangoes we harvested this year. I made so many dishes, but have not been able to get them all posted. Plus you would probably be bored with mango, mango recipes day after day. I thought I would share my mango pound cake.

Although I used fresh mangoes in my pound cake, you could use frozen mangoes. The mangoes made the cake very moist. I put a buttermilk frosting on it, but you could also just sprinkle it with powdered sugar.

Although I love to bake, I try not to eat much of it. It looked so good when it was all done.

I wanted to be able to taste it to see if it was any good.  Does than sound like an excuse? Just a small taste !!! 

You could always substitute blueberries or other fruit in this cake and it would be great.

We all enjoyed it and then I sliced it up so my husband could take it to work. Good bye temptation!
