Butter or shortening, for the pan
2¾ cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for the pan
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 cup mashed cooked sweet potatoes, at room temperature
1 cup finely diced mango
2 teaspoons grated orange zest
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon orange juice or whiskey, or half of each
Preheat the oven to 325°F. Generously coat a
10-inch tube pan with butter or shortening. Dust with flour, tapping out
the excess.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, ginger, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate large bowl, use a wooden spoon to beat together the oil,
granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well mixed. Stir in the sweet
potatoes, mango, and orange zest, stirring for 1 minute, until smooth.
Whisk in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir
in the flour-spice mixture and the vanilla, mixing just until blended.
Pour the batter into the tube pan. Bake until a wooden pick inserted in
the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Let the cake cool in the pan
on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then turn the cake out on the rack to
cool completely.
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and orange juice (or whiskey). Drizzle over the cooled cake.
