Our family loves mangoes, and this recipe is a different and delicious way to use them.

• Ready In: 1 hr
• Serves: 8-10

Ingredients

• 2  cups all-purpose flour
• 2  cups sugar
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1⁄2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄2 cup butter
• 1  cup buttermilk
• 2  eggs, beaten
• 1  teaspoon vanilla
• 3  cups  coarsely chopped seeded and peeled mangoes (about 3)
• 1⁄3 cup sugar
• 3⁄4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
•  sweetened whipped cream (optional) or  Cool Whip (optional)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 13x9x2-inch baking pan; set aside. In a large bowl combine flour, the 2 cups sugar, baking powder, soda, nutmeg and salt. Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumb.
2. In a small bowl combine buttermilk, eggs and vanilla. Add to flour mixture all at once; stir just until moistened. Fold in mangoes. Spread in prepared pan. Combine the 1/3 cup sugar and the cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over batter.
3. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted near center comes out clean. (Mango pieces will sink to the bottom of coffee cake.) Cool slightly. Serve with sweetened whipped cream or Cool Whip, if desired.
