Ingredients

    1 medium mango
    1/4 c. light brown sugar (2TBSP Splenda brown sugar blend)
    1 TBSP honey or corn syrup (Molasses)
    2 TBSP butter
    3/4 c. all-purpose flour
    3/4c. granulated sugar
    1/3c. unsweetened cocoa powder
    1tsp baking soda
    1/2 tsp ground ginger
    1/4 tsp salt
    3/4c. buttermilk
    1/4c. canola oil (applesauce)
    1 egg
    1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
    1/4c. apricot preserves, strained
    2TBSP chopped macadamia nuts or almonds

Directions

Peel and slice the mango into long strips. Set aside.

In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar, honey/corn syrup/molasses, and butter. Stir until bubbling, then put immediately into an 8-inch round cake pan. Spread mixture evenly around the bottom. Arrange the mango slices over this.

Sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa, ginger, baking soda, and salt into t large mixing bowl. Add buttermilk, oil/applesauce, egg and vanilla. Mix on low until combined, then increase speed for 2 minutes longer.

Pour batter over the mangos. Bake for 45-55 minutes at 350 degrees. Run a knife around the edge of the cake to release it. Invert a serving plated over the cake, and turn both over, letting cake fall onto the plate. Replace any fruit that sticks.

In a small sauce pan, heat the preserves until bubbling (I did not do this). Brush over the top of the cake as a glaze, then sprinkle the nuts around the edge as a garnish.

Serves 8.
