Coconut And Mango Friands - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup coconut, desiccated
1/4 cup almonds, ground
4 egg whites
2/3 cup butter, melted
1 cheek mango, roughly chopped
1/4 cup cranberries, dried
icing sugar, for dusting

Preparation

Pre-heat the oven to 350\u00b0F
Combine castor sugar, flour, almond meal and coconut in a large mixing bowl.
Add the egg whites and stir well with a wooden spoon.
Add the melted butter and stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Spoon the mixture into silicone or greased mini loaf pans so that it reaches 3/4 of the way up the side.
Press several pieces of mango into the cake mixture in each tin. Do the same with the dried cranberries.
Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the tops are golden. Test the cake by skewering a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean the cake is ready.
Remove cakes from the oven and cool in pans for about 4 minutes.
Gently turn the cakes out of the tins and cool on a wire rack.
Sprinkle with icing sugar just before serving.
To store, keep friands in a air-tight container for up to a week.
