How to make Mango Upside-Down Cake

  1. Step 1

    In a 28 cm (11-inch) cake pan, add the sugar and melt it over heat until it turns into caramel. Spread the caramel evenly across the entire surface of the pan.

  2. Step 2

    While the caramel is still hot, add the butter. Allow the butter to melt and combine with the caramel.

  3. Step 3

    Peel the mangoes and cut them into eighths. Arrange the mango slices over the caramel and butter mixture, covering the entire surface.

  4. Step 4

    In a bowl, beat the sugar with the eggs. Sift the flour together with the baking powder and add it to the mixture. Stir until well combined.

  5. Step 5

    Pour the batter into the cake pan, over the mangoes and caramel.

  6. Step 6

    Bake in a moderate oven (around 180°C or 350°F) for 30 minutes.

  7. Step 7

    Before unmolding, drizzle the cake with the port wine. Then, carefully invert the cake onto a plate, ensuring the caramel and mango layer is on top.
