LOW-FAT MANGO CAKE
Much adapted from a weight-watchers recipe, this is healthier for you than the high-fat cakes and biscuits cramming the supermarket aisles at this time of year. Pureed mangoes make it very moist without butter. I mean tinned mangoes and granulated splenda but the program gets confused if I put that in ingredients.

- Pour into the greased tin and bake for 30-40mins.
