Mango Upside-Down Cake
This mango upside-down cake recipe is stunningly simple to make and perfect for when mangoes are in season. It's also relatively healthy as far as cakes go, and not overly sweet. The cake is dense and perfect with tea or coffee. I use Alfonso mangoes, but any variety will do.
