Pre-Prep - Preheat oven to 325 degree F. Prepare a 7 inch round pan (or square pan) with butter and flour. Rub the interior of pan with butter, then add flour and swirl it around to make a coating. Set aside. Also, peel mangoes, and using food processor puree the pulp to yield about 3/4 cup puree. (add 1-2 tbsp water if puree looks too thick or lumpy. It should be smooth like pancake batter. Not runny or too thick )

Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, cream together room temperature butter and sugar until pale yellow in color.

Batter should be creamy, pale yellow and not gritty (sugar fully dissolved)

With mixer running at low add 2 eggs (one at a time), blending well after adding each egg. Also add coconut extract, coconut milk, oil, and 1/2 cup mango while mixing. Mix on medium for good 4 minutes or until mixture has good volume, and is creamy.

In a bowl, add flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda and sift together. Add 2 batch flour to wet mixture, 1/3 at a time, and fold with rubber spatula after every addition. Then add remaining 1/4 cup mango puree, last batch of flour and fold in.

Don't over mix. Just use gentle strokes until dry flour is moistened.

Transfer batter to baking pan and bake for 65-70 minutes or until cake is golden brown and tooth pick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Leave the cake on kitchen counter for 5 minutes.

Then loosen the edges with knife and flip the cake on cooling rack. Cool the cake completely before slicing.
