• Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced. Grease and line the cake tin with baking paper.
• Drain tinned mango (reserving the syryp), then thinly slice.
• Measure out 200g of softened butter and set aside at room temperature. Measure 20g butter (for the sauce) and set aside.
• Divide brown sugar into two separate bowls: 160g in one bowl and the remaining 40g in a second bowl.
TIP: Using room temperature butter helps the batter get light and fluffy!
• In a medium saucepan, combine the butter (for the sauce) and 40g brown sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved, 2-3 minutes.
• Once the sauce has cooled slighty, pour into the lined cake tin. Arrange mango slices, in a single layer, on top of the sauce.
• In a large bowl, add 160g brown sugar and the softened butter. Beat with electric beaters until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes.
• Add eggs, one at a time, and beat until smooth. Using a spoon, fold in the basic sponge mix and milk until just combined.
• Pour cake batter into the lined cake tin, covering the mango. Bake for 45 minutes - 1 hour. Set aside to cool in the tin, 15-20 minutes.
TIP: To check if the cake is done, stick a toothpick or skewer in the centre. It should come out clean
• While the cake is baking, wipe out saucepan and return to medium heat with the reserved syrup. Reduce until slightly thickened, 5-6 minutes.
• When the cake has cooled, place a serving plate on top of the cake. Carefully flip cake over and remove the tin to reveal the mango top.
• Divide caramelised mango upside-down cake between plates.
• Drizzle over mango syrup to serve. Enjoy!
