Another cake that uses  fruit, mango as main ingredient,  This mango again is from my back yard, its gong gong's mango  tree :D Have you heard of Kuini fruit or Kuini mango?? It is another type of mango, if i am not mistaken it is only found in eastern malaysia. Mangifera Odorata its scientific name, known as Kuwin (Kuini) Mango or Mangifera odorata  is light orange in color with a juicy sweetness and can only be eaten fully ripe. It has pungent scents, very meaty flesh and easily get addicted once you bite into it ..hahaha
