SO HOW'D IT GO?
Easy and very moist. The coconut and mango combination is really good. I was tempted to add some cardamom and I'm glad I didn't because it's a nice, simple fruit cake. I was going to serve it as a dessert after Thai take-out but we were too full so I brought it to work. Mine didn't turn out as golden brown on top but I think it's my oven's fault because it kind of sucks.
This was pretty good. I added cranberries instead of mango because I didn't have any. I also subbed some of the oil with apple sauce which worked well; it was still very moist. The only thing is, I think there may be too much baking soda, there is a distinct bitter after taste of the baking soda so much so that my boyfriend couldn't eat it. I'm not sure if I mis-measured or if there is simply too much. I will try again with maybe a 1/2tsp less. Oh, and I also added cinnamon and nutmeg instead of ginger 'cause ginger makes me sssooooo ill...kind of a bummer. Thanks for the recipe, I'm gonna try to make cupcakes with it too.
