Have lots of mangoes so was looking for a recipe and found this. Will try this, this evening as very warm today. Yippee!!! Will bring the cake to the picnic with friends at Peace Arch Park.

Donna, any good unsalted butter should be okay, Lurpak or Anchor maybe. And yes, walnuts or any nuts do go rancid quickly in warm weather, so they should be refrigerated or in the freezer, better. Unless they are canned and vacuum packed, in which case maybe they last longer. But nuts in a hot pantry will be pretty awful after a month or two. Some nuts spoil faster than others.

Hi MarketMan. Do you have any suggestions on what would be the best brand that can substitute Plurga butter here in the philippines? Magnolia unsalted Butter, Lurpak, Anchor ? Also, I have walnuts in my pantry, should it really be stored in the fridge? Thanks for your time.

Hi MM…I tried cooking this recipe last weekend. It was good! But I have to improve the appearance as I was not able to put the topping evenly :(. In addition, the color is pale compared to your golden cake. It’s probably the butter…I used Lurpak ..the only unsalted butter available here. Thanks a lot for sharing the recipe.

AB, these pecans were brought in by my Sister from NY, however, there are pecans for sale at S&R, sweetcraft & other baking supplies stores, and good groceries.

Big hit too! I made mango balls to make the top more interesting visually for my little boy but these pieces were too large for my liking. Maybe half a ball would’ve been better. My kitchen assistant made a mistake and sifted the cinnamon in with the other dry ingredients but cake was still yummy. Recipe is a keeper.

MM, the cake was a hit! There were some chewy pieces (probably the slices cut too close to the seed) but they actually added a nice textural contrast as well :) I had some vanilla sugar so used that instead of adding vanilla, and the topping caramelized really well. I will definitely make this again and again. Thanks!
