Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1.5 sticks butter unsalted
  • 2 mangos sliced into half moons
  • 2 cups gluten free flour
  • 4 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1.5 cup sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1.5 cup plain yogurt

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees, then grease a 9-inch spring-form pan. Place over an aluminum foil lined baking sheet. You'll thank me later for clean up.
  • In a small sauce pan, combine 1/2 stick of butter and brown sugar over medium high heat. Once boiling and thick, pour into spring-form pan.
  • Layer the mango slices like a fan over the sauce you just poured it. Let it hang out a bit.
  • In your stand mixer, toss in butter and regular sugar and beat on high until somewhat fluffy, about 5 minutes. Scrape down the sides when you see it becoming a paste and sticking to the edges.
  • Meanwhile, mix all your dry ingredients together and set aside.
  • Add the eggs, one at a time. Once they're just about combined (you can no longer see the yolk streaks), pour in vanilla.
  • With the mixture on low-we don't need a flour hurricane, add half the flour mixture.
  • When you no longer see flour, add half the yogurt. Mix well. Then add flour, mix well, then last of yogurt.
  • Pour the cake mixture over the mangoes. Using a spatula, spread evenly.
  • Bake for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • The center of the cake will deflate, it's OK! The rest of the cake will deflate as well and you're going to flip it over, so no worries.
  • Cool in the spring-form pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Then flip onto a serving platter and enjoy!
