Mango Spice Doughnuts

Island Spice!

Everyone knows I have been on a mango kick lately. It all started with my Jamaican Jerk Fried Chicken with Mango Chutney and then I went on to create my Mangolicious Shrimp Tacos.

I decided to take my spice cake recipe and turn it into mango doughnuts.  The fresh mango puree is the key to these doughnuts. I also added allspice and Saigon cinnamon to kick up the spice!

These doughnuts are so light, spicy and fluffy. It's like eating a piece of thanksgiving pie.

I allow the doughnuts to rest for about 5 minutes in the doughnut pan, then I move them to a rack and it's time to dip baby dip. This is one time, you can double dip and not get in trouble.

Yes people, I decided to heat the glaze up in the microwave for about 1 minute, this allows the glaze to be dippable. If you are using this glaze for a cake do not microwave.  This is the first dip.

 Look what happens when we double dip!

Enough already, bite me!
