Ingredients

Cake

• 1 cup softened butter
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1 tsp Amoretti® Vanilla Madagascar Bourbon Extract (2x)
• 2 tsp Amoretti® Mango Extract
• 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 2 cups diced mango

Frosting

• 4 oz cream cheese
• 1/4 cup butter
• 2/4 cup powdered sugar
• 3/4 tsp Amoretti® Coconut Cream Extract
• Toasted coconut (to taste)

Directions

Cake

1. Preheat your oven to 350° F and grease a 9" x 5" loaf pan.
2. Mix butter and sugar together until creamed and fluffy.
3. Add in eggs one at a time then follow with sour cream, vanilla and mango extract and mix until combined.
4. Add flour, baking powder and salt into a separate bowl, mix to combine, then add to the butter mixture until combined. 
5. With a spatula, gently fold in the diced mango.
6. Pour into a greased loaf pan and bake in oven for 50-55 minutes until golden, and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center.
7. Once baked all the way through, allow to cool completely on a baking rack.
8. Place coconut shreds on a baking sheet and stick in the already warmed over stirring every 2 minutes until toasted. 

Frosting

1. Place the cream cheese and half the butter into a bowl and mix well, add the other half the butter and continue mixing until smooth.
2. Add the powdered sugar and coconut cream extract and mix until completely combined (don't over mix or the frosting will be to soft to work with, if this happens place in the fridge until it firms to desired consistency).
3. Once the cake has cooled, frost your loaf cake and add toasted coconut shreds on top.
4. Enjoy!
