Fast Desserts Recipes - Mini Mango cakes with lime syrup

Ingredients

  • 425 g can mango slices in syrup, drained

  • 90 g butter

  • 1/2 cup (125 g) caster sugar

  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten

  • 1/2 cup (60 g) self raising flour

  • 2 tablespoons ground almonds

  • 1 tablespoon desiccated coconut

  • 40 ml coconut milk

  • lime zest, to garnish

  • 2 tablespoons lime juice

  • 1/4 cup (60 g) caster sugar, extra

Method:

  1. Preheat the oven to moderately hot 200°C (400°F/Gas 6). Grease four 1 cup (250 ml) muffin holes and line with two mango slices.

  2. Put the butter and sugar in a bowl and beat until light and creamy. Gradually add the egg, beating well after each addition. Fold in the sifted flour, then add the almonds, coconut and coconut milk. Spoon into the muffin holes and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean when inserted in the middle.

  3. To make the syrup, put the lime juice, extra sugar and 1/2 cup (125 ml) water in a small saucepan and stir over low heat until the sugar dissolves. Increase the heat and simmer for 3 minutes, or until thick and syrupy.

  4. Run a knife around the edge of the cakes and turn out. Drizzle with syrup and sprinkle with lime zest.
