This recipe was very good. However, I felt it needed something.... Perhaps a touch of nutmeg or cinnamon in the fruit or a bit of almond extract in the cake. I will try it again....with a few revisions.

LunaStar made this cake with fresh mango and added just a bit of vanilla and it was Scrummy! A nice, dense cake with plenty of flavor. Moist, but not drippy, so it would make a great party cake, (or breakfast??)!
