1/4 cup brandy
2 large mangoes, peeled, pitted, diced
1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, room temperature
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350°F. Butter and flour 9x5x3-inch metal loaf pan. Mix raisins and brandy in small bowl. Let stand 15 minutes.
