    Slow Cooker Mango and Lime Cake

    My summery Slow Cooker Mango and Lime Cake reminds me of a summer beach holiday, with its tropical fruit flavours. Great on a dull English day! Zingy lime pairs so well with sweet mango.

    Using Greek yoghurt in cakes gives them a delicious light flavour, and is really good in the slow cooker where you want the mixture to be nice and moist. This cake looks tasty even before baking, with the chunks of mango and green lime zest.

    We loved this cake as a treat on a week day after our main meal. Great too with a cuppa!

    Delicious.
