Total Time: 1 hrs 5 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup diced mango
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking pan with butter or cooking spray, ensuring complete coverage.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, using an electric mixer on medium speed for about 3 minutes.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to create a uniform dry mixture.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
- Gently fold in diced mango and blueberries, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and let the coffee cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Once completely cooled, slice into 8 equal servings and serve. Optional: dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Tips
- Room Temperature Matters: Ensure your butter and eggs are at room temperature for the smoothest, most evenly mixed batter.
- Don't Overmix: Mix your batter just until ingredients are combined to keep the cake tender and light.
- Fruit Preparation: Gently pat your mango and blueberries dry before adding to prevent excess moisture in the cake.
- Even Distribution: Toss fruit in a little flour before folding into batter to prevent them from sinking to the bottom.
- Toothpick Test: Always check doneness by inserting a toothpick - it should come out clean with just a few moist crumbs.
- Cooling is Crucial: Let the cake cool completely before slicing to maintain its perfect texture and prevent crumbling.
