Ingredients

  1. 125ml sunflower oil, plus extra for greasing
  2. 125g ready-to-eat dried mango, pineapple or apricots
  3. Zest and juice of 1 lime
  4. 125g natural yogurt
  5. 175g golden caster sugar
  6. 2 medium eggs, beaten
  7. 175g plain flour, sifted
  8. 11/2 tsp baking powder
  9. 100g icing sugar
  10. 25g coconut flakes (or desiccated coconut), toasted

Method

  1. 1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan160°C/ gas 4. Grease and line a 900g loaf tin. Snip most of the mango into pieces, reserving a few slices.
  2. 2. Put half the lime zest, yogurt, sugar, oil, eggs, flour, baking powder and chopped mango into a large bowl. Beat with a wooden spoon until just smooth. Pour into the tin and bake for 50 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Turn out to cool on a rack.
  3. 3. Mix just enough of the lime juice with the icing sugar to give a thick, slightly runny icing. Pour over the cake, then top with the coconut, remaining lime zest and mango.
