MANGO LOAF CAKE WITH PASSION FRUIT GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325F and grease and line a 2lb loaf tin.
• Place the butter and sugar into a large bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer and beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minute on med-high speed.
• Add in the eggs and vanilla extract, scraping down the sides as necessary, mix on med-high until well incorporated and smooth, around 1 minute.
• Add the cake flour, baking powder and salt if using, mix on low-med until smooth.
• Add in the mango purée/pulp and mix on low-medium until well incorporated, light and smooth.

• Leave to cool in the tin for at least 1 hour before transferring to a wire rack.
• Once cool, make the glaze: Using a medium sized bowl, scrape the insides of the passion fruits into a sieve and use the back of a spoon to separate the juice from the seeds. Place seeds in a separate bowl, you can either discard them or use them as a garnish.
• Add 1/2 cup sifted icing sugar into the passion fruit juice and mix until smooth and glossy.
• Slowly spoon glaze all over the cooled cake and garnish with passion fruit seeds if desired.
• Cake will keep in an airtight container, at room temp, for 3 days.
