Funny how things like that can happen. I could’ve gotten all upset over it, but nah… it is not worth it.
Perfection is overrated. Seriously.
Here you are seeing my normal, human imperfection and I am proud to display it to the world.
I know, it’s only one letter.
But that one letter can have the power to either cause me emotional distress or a good laugh 🙂
I choose the latter.
Even though I loved eating it all by its beautiful self… I decided to try it over some of that yummy cake in the picture up there.
It was so good… so so so good!
The cake is unique, at least for me, because it is made with 100% sorghum flour. This is the first time I have ever tried baking with this flour.
Most of you know I like to use mostly coconut flour for my gluten-free baking. Once I even made a gluten-free dessert with almond flour and coconut flour.
This has been a totally new and fun experience for me. Oh, and did I mentioned that the cake’s second main ingredient is mango? Do I need to say more?!
If you are interested… head over to the Grain Mill Wagon and print out the recipe or Pin it for later. The Mango Cake is super easy to make and gluten, dairy & sugar free!
Wait! Before you do that… you should make some this awesome mango curd to slather on the Mango Cake… if you decide to make it (wink).
- 1½ cups mango puree (about 1-2 mangoes)
- 3 large eggs or 6 egg yolks
- ⅛ cup honey
- 4 Tbsp fresh lime juice
- ¼ cup of butter or coconut oil
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together mango puree, eggs, honey & lime juice until smooth.
- Add in slices/chunks of butter (or coconut oil). Cook over medium heat and whisk until smooth.
- Continue to cook & whisk until the mixture thickens and you start to see bubbles popping on the surface.
- Remove from heat and pour into a fine sieve set over a bowl. Gently stir the curd through the sieve.
- Cover the bowl and store in the fridge for several hours to thicken. Should keep for about one week in the fridge.
Enjoy it by itself or slather it on Mango Cake or make curd bars!
Thanks again for saving me from seasonal fruit overload! This did not turn out as well as hoped, though, but it was due to the fruit, not the recipe. We have several mango trees close together and not all the fruit is great. I think I got a few of the muskier mangoes 🙁
I will probably try again – we’ve got a few more weeks of Mango Rain 🙂
Liss, do try it again with good mangoes!! So worth it and SO yummy.
Now, I wanna go eat some straight off the spoon! :o)
The typo gave me a good laugh and bravo for leaving it – I have done it myself before [I actually spelled my logo wrong!] but caught it before I saved the shot. This curd looks lovely – I will have to forward it to my sister as she is a huge fan of mangoes. Thanks for the link to the cake – will have to check that out too.
Good! Yeah, it gave me a good laugh too 🙂
Thanks for commenting and hope your sister will enjoy the curd!!
I’ve got a tree full of mangoes in my front yard right now (actually, branches from the neighbor’s that drop deliciously down to me!) and have made sorbet, but nothing else. What a great recipe to try. I must admit, we love the fruit so much that cooking with them doesn’t seem right. They’re just so juicy and flavorful straight from the tree. Thank you for sharing this recipe!
Jelli, I understand exactly what you mean… but trust me, the curd is SO yummy and my favorite way to ‘cook’ a mango. I am not a fan of cooking mangoes as they seem to loose their flavor when cooked. We all love it fresh off the tree!! IT is the best snack and dessert… especially with fresh kefir or yogurt!
