Just sitting her on a cold day and decided to look up some of my old recipes to share. This is one that always gets a big "WOW" when I served it to friends and family. Isn't it something how through the years you can accumulate so many great recipes and remember to go and look into your recipe box for something different to make for a dinner you are planning. Well, I'll have to make this one very soon. I remember making this with a variety of different fruits such as peach, pineapple and apple and always using my iron skillet instead of a cake pan.

How to Make My Yummy Mango & Coconut Brulee Cake

3Arrange the mango evenly over the bottom of the pan.
4Sift the flour and baking powder into a large bowl and add the butter, sugar and eggs.
5Beat well until mixture is smooth, then stir in the lime juice, lime rind and dry unsweetened coconut until well blended.
6Spoon the mixture over the mango and smoothe the survace with a spatula.
7Place in oven and bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until risen and golden brown.
