  • 1 + 1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon divided
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 sticks 6 ounces unsalted butter, cold & cut into small pieces
  • 1 + 1/2 cup walnuts chopped & divided

For the Cake:

  • 2 cups (10 ounces) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 stick 4 ounces +1 tablespoon unsalted butter, at room temperature – divided
  • 1 cup 7 ounces granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs at room temperature
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sour cream at room temperature
  • 3 medium ripe mango peeled and mashed
  • 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

For the Glaze:

  • 1 cup 4 ounces powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to 350 F Degrees. Using 1 tablespoon of butter, generously butter a 9-inch tube pan.
  • To make the streusel topping, mix the flour, 3/4 cup brown sugar, 1-teaspoon cinnamon, and salt in a medium size bowl. Add in the butter. Using a fork or with a pastry cutter, mash them all together until small clumps form. Stir in the 1/2-cup walnuts. Place it in the fridge until you are ready to use it.
  • Continue with making the streusel for the center: Mix the remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1 cup walnuts. Set aside.
  • To make the cake batter: Sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
  • Using a standing mixer with the paddle attachment (or hand mixer), beat the butter and sugar in medium speed, until fluffy, 2 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, making sure each egg is fully incorporated into the batter. Add in the vanilla extract.
  • Add in the flour in 3 batches, alternating with sour cream, beginning and ending with flour. Mix until just incorporated.
  • Using a spatula, gently fold in the mashed mango and the shredded coconut into the batter.
  • Pour half of the batter into the bottom of the tube pan. Use a rubber spatula to smooth out the surface. Evenly sprinkle the streusel you prepped earlier for the center and then cover with remaining batter spreading out evenly.
  • Sprinkle the streusel topping mixture evenly over the batter.
  • Bake until the top is golden brown or a skewer inserted into middle of cake comes out or with a few crumbs attached, about 60-65 minutes. Cool the cake in pan on wire rack for half an hour, then invert onto wire rack to cool completely before glazing, about 1 hour.
  • To make the glaze, mix together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in small bowl.
  • Drizzle it over the cake allowing it to drip down the sides. Allow it to sit for 5 minutes and serve.
