Mango Bread

caffeine junkie's Note:

Found in an old cookbook, it didn't fully bake in a loaf pan long after its baking time. So I use a 13x9x2" pan, cut like cake, and serve with vanilla bean ice cream. Mango juice can usually be found in the Asian food section. Make sure your mango is fresh and ripe.
