Mango Upside Down Cake With Macadamia Nut Recipe 435

Steps:

• Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-inch springform pan and set aside.
• Combine the brown sugar and 4 tablespoons of the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the syrup is bubbling. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook until it turns light amber, about 10 minutes. Carefully pour the butter mixture into the prepared pan and arrange the mango on top, overlapping the slices. Sprinkle the shredded coconut on top and set aside.
• Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl and reserve. Beat together the granulated sugar and remaining 8 tablespoons butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer at high speed until light and fluffy, about 6 minutes. Add the eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla. Add half of the flour mixture and mix at low speed until just combined. Mix in the milk, then add the remaining flour and mix until just combined.
• Gently spoon the batter into the pan over the coconut and mango and spread evenly. Bake on the middle rack until golden brown and a tester comes out clean, about 1 hour. Let the cake cool in the pan on a rack for 10 minutes.
• Run a thin knife around the inside edge of the pan, then invert a plate over the pan and invert the cake onto the plate. Let the cake cool completely on the plate, at least 20 minutes, then serve at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhanging on all sides.
• Arrange mango slices in an overlapping pattern over the bottom of the prepared dish.
• Combine sugar, eggs, yogurt, and oil in a large bowl and stir until smooth. Fold in flour, coconut, and baking powder until just combined. Spoon batter over the sliced mango, and spread evenly to the edges.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Let the cake cool in the dish for 15 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate and carefully peeling off the parchment paper. Allow to cool completely before slicing.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and sugar a 9 by 2-inch round baking pan or 6 ramekins (4-inch diameter).
• Melt 1/2 stick butter in a large saute pan over medium-high heat until hot. Heat until butter begins to turn brown. Remove pan from heat, add vinegar and brown sugar, and mix well. (A sauce whisk is a good tool to use here.) Return to heat to melt sugar, if necessary.
• Pour a little of the brown sugar sauce in the bottom of the ramekins or baking pan. Cut each pineapple ring into pieces, maintaining the shape of the ring (see Chef's Note). Add 1 pineapple ring to each ramekin or line the bottom of the large pan with pineapple. Add mango around the pineapple.
• Drizzle pineapple with remaining brown sugar sauce and sprinkle with chopped nuts.
• Make the batter:
• In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
• Put 1 stick of softened butter in the bowl of an electric mixer. Beat on medium to high speed with the paddle attachment until light and fluffy. Add 1/2 cup superfine sugar and beat very well, until mixture is white and very light and fluffy. Beat in egg yolks, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition.
• Alternately mix 1/3 cup milk, then 1/3 of flour mixture into butter-egg mixture in 3 portions. Do not overmix.
• In another bowl, beat egg whites with clean beaters or a balloon whisk. When whites begin to foam, add remaining 1 tablespoon sugar and beat until they hold soft peaks. Scrape 1/2 the whites into batter and mix gently until blended. Fold in remaining whites carefully, until just blended.
• Divide batter among ramekins or pour into baking pan. (If using ramekins, place them on a baking sheet.) Place cake in preheated oven. Bake until a tester inserted into the middle comes out clean, about 20 to 30 minutes for individual cakes or about 50 minutes for the large cake. Remove from oven and let cool about 10 minutes in the pan. Run a knife around the edges to loosen the cake(s) and invert onto deep dessert plates or a deep platter (otherwise, the sweet syrup may overflow the plate!).

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat 1/2 cup sugar and 2 tablespoons water in a small saucepan over high, stirring, until sugar is dissolved, about 3 minutes. Let boil, without stirring, until dark amber, swirling pan to color evenly and washing down sides with a wet pastry brush to prevent crystals from forming. Immediately pour into a 9-inch round cake pan; swirl to evenly coat bottom of pan.
• Whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and remaining 1 cup sugar in a medium bowl. In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, oil, rum, egg and yolk, vanilla, and banana. Whisk buttermilk mixture into flour mixture until smooth and combined.
• Arrange mangoes in pan on top of caramel, in a tightly packed single layer. Pour batter into pan.
• Bake until a tester inserted in center of cake comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool in pan on a wire rack 15 minutes. Run a knife around edge of pan, invert cake onto a plate, and let cool completely before serving.

Steps:

• Make topping:
• Standing each mango upright, remove flesh from pit by cutting a thick lengthwise slice from each broad side. (Be careful: Peeled mango is slippery.) Put slices on a work surface and cut lengthwise into 3/8-inch-thick slices.
• Melt butter in a small heavy saucepan over moderate heat, then stir in brown sugar. Simmer, stirring, until butter is incorporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Spread mixture in bottom of a buttered 9- by 2-inch round baking pan and arrange mango on top, overlapping slices.
• Make batter:
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Beat together butter and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at high speed until light and fluffy, about 6 minutes. Add whole egg and yolks 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Add half of flour mixture and mix at low speed until just combined. Mix in mango nectar, then add remaining flour mixture, mixing until just combined.
• Beat egg whites in another bowl with cleaned beaters until they just hold stiff peaks, then fold into batter gently but thoroughly.
• Gently spoon batter over mango topping and spread evenly. Bake in middle of oven until golden brown and a tester comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes. Cool cake in pan on a rack 10 minutes. Run a thin knife around inside edge of pan, then invert a plate over pan and invert cake onto plate. Cool completely on plate on rack.
• Serve cake at room temperature.
