Ingredients:
1 lb unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 cups firm-packed light brown sugar
4 large eggs
2 3/4 cups self-rising flour
1 teaspoon fresh ground nutmeg
2 cups diced ripe but firm mangoes
1 1/2 cups light-packed shredded coconut
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray two (8-by-4-by-21/2-inch) loaf pans well with no-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar together until light using an electric mixer on medium speed. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. On low speed of mixer, beat in flour and nutmeg. Fold in mangoes and coconut.
Divide batter between prepared pans and bake in center of oven about an hour or until center of each loaf is set. If edges seem to be getting too brown, cover them lightly with foil the last few minutes of baking.
Let sit in pans about 8 minutes, then turn out onto wire racks to cool. Best if completely cool before slicing. Slices even better from refrigerator. Makes 2 loaves; 16 slices ea.
