Mango Cake is now: Birthday in Paradise

• 2½ cups mashed mango
• 1 Teaspoon grated ginger
• 2 cups flour
• 2 cups sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• ½ cup butter or margarine softened
• 3 Teaspoon milk
• ¾ cup confectioners' sugar
• 25 teaspoon cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350°F. Beat sugar and eggs until creamy. Add vanilla. Gradually add mangoes, beating well. Sift flour together with baking soda and salt. Add flour mixture to sugar/egg mixture gradually. Beat until smooth. Spoon into a greased 9x13 baking pan. Bake in preheated 350 degrees oven for 40 minutes. Check cake for doneness (an inserted toothpick comes out clean) as oven temperatures and cooking times may vary. Cool. Frosting: Beat the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla in a mixer bowl until light. Add the confectioners' sugar, beating until smooth. Spread over the cake.
