Cooking Steps
Adjust rack to middle position (middle and top positions for 12 servings) and preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish (two 9-by-13-inch baking dishes for 12) with nonstick cooking spray. Wash and dry produce.
Place 4 TBSP butter (8 TBSP for 12) in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until melted, 30 seconds (continue microwaving in 10-second increments if necessary).
Drain mango. Zest and halve lime.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, ½ cup white sugar, and ½ tsp salt (1 cup sugar and 1 tsp salt for 12 servings).
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, melted butter, and mango.
Using a rubber spatula, gently stir milk mixture into flour mixture until combined. TIP: Be careful not to overmix—it's good if some lumps remain in the batter!
Pour batter into prepared baking dish; use rubber spatula to smooth the surface. Bake on middle rack until cake is browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 minutes. (For 12 servings, divide batter between two prepared dishes and bake on middle and top racks.)
Meanwhile, in a second small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, lime zest, and juice from the lime until smooth.
Once cake is done, drizzle lime glaze evenly over top. Let cake cool for 10 minutes.
Cut cake into 12 pieces to serve (you’ll have 24 pieces for 12 servings). (TIP: Use a sharp knife and wipe with a hot, wet dish towel between cuts for clean edges.) Refrigerate, covered, for up to 5 days.

Reviews from our home cooks
This is absolutely delicious!!! It was super easy to make since the mango came pre-diced in cups. The flavors blend well together, and its the perfect dish for weekend brunch or a weekday grab and go (what I'm doing with the left overs).
For it whatever reason this came out like a cake that filled a 9x12 Pyrex baking dish! And as it turned out we couldn't be happier because it is very delicious and would be great to bring to a shower party or a friend's house for dessert. We will order this again.
I expected this to be more flavorful, given the ingredients. It was fine- I'll finish it... But just not as happy with it as I have been the others. My biggest gripe is the bake time. When I followed the instructions, the middle of the cake was soup. I kept adding 5 minutes until it was baked, and it ended up being DOUBLE the bake time on the card.
This made a lot - two 13"X9" pans. This wasn't a problem, as we just froze one. The mangos were delicious and cake stayed moist.
Easy to make and delicious! I only wish there was also a fresh mango involved, not just the canned ones.
Used this as my 25th birthday cake!! So nice! Perfect amount of sweetness & different from traditional cakes. Almost scone like in flavor & texture. Such a fun idea. And served my whole family & friends for my birthday! Thank you!! Love hello fresh.
This was phenomenal! I love tropical desserts and I wish you offered more of them. I did have to bake this for an additional 12 minutes beyond what the recipe called for.
Thought this would be way more complicated than it was. Turned out to be very easy and quick. I almost mixed up the powdered sugar with the flour. Different packaging may help with that. Very tasty and easily customizable, too! Loved it!
Soooo yummy! I switched out the milk with coconut milk and it was amazing! I will definitely order again!
Please do more recipes like this. My husband is diabetic and I was able to use a sugar alternative to make this and it turned out delicious!
