Wait for it, wait for it…
I actually bought buttermilk. And when I buy things, I go big. I got a huge 2 liter container of it. Now it’s going to be an adventure trying to use this all with no waste. Oh baby, is this going to be fun.
And of course I got on the cherry bandwagon. Who can resist those dark red, juicy little devils. I certainly can’t.
But I’ve got some more very exciting news: Tomorrow. Camping. Here I come.
This is how I knew I was camping. Boyfriend: hey, you aren’t working from August 2nd to the 6th. Me: Um, what? What is happening then? What if this isn’t possible? Boyfriend: That’s too bad, I already bought your plane ticket, we are going camping.
We went to the same spot last year when we went camping, so I know just how gorgeous this place is. Needless to say, I am very excited. So I’m obviously not going to be posting in the next 5 days, but I will leave you guys with this awesome Cherry Mango Coffee Cake recipe.
Warning: This Cherry Mango Coffee Cake is addicting. I had this slice in the below picture, and ended up slicing myself more slices until 1/3 of the cake was gone. I’ve got no self control. But with the combination of mangoes and cherries: two of my favourite fruits ever, who could resist?

oh my goodness! how delicious this cake must be!!!
the combo of mangoes and cherries is new for me but something that i am dying to try now 😀
-Abeer @ http://www.cakewhiz.com
Wow what a great combo, so want a slice of this!
Kudos on buying buttermilk!
I love the cake! Will you be taking it along on your camping trip?
This is delicious cake with all the fruit I Love in it. .
I always have leftover buttermilk! Aha. Make some buttermilk pancakes~ yum
And speaking of yumm…cherry and mango coffee cake? sounds greattt!
Hello Cathleen
Your coffee cake looks so delicious! I loves coffee and anything with coffee inside too! This cake must be full of aroma in taste when you put in some spices in. You can always make your own buttermilk, you know instead of buying.
Wow, mangoes and cherries? I don't think I've ever combined them, and I love them. This looks terrific – really good recipe. I'm going to be curious to see what you do with all that buttermilk! You can make biscuits and pan cakes (and with the biscuit dough you can make cobbler). And you can use some of the buttermilk if you make your own blue cheese dressing. Actually, maybe it won't be so hard to get through it! Good post – thanks.
That looks crazy good!
Like you, I always seem to have leftover buttermilk for some reasons. I didn't like to freeze them because I think it curds when it is thawed and feel wasteful throwing it away… Your cake looks awesome and nice to use up your buttermilk for this cake.
Btw, have fun camping…
Throw 1 litre of that buttermilk here ! lol I haven't used real buttermilk yet 😛 😀 Mango and cherry combo sounds awesome in that delicious cake !
Enjoy your camping and take care !
Awesome cake..don't mind a piece or two! happy camping and have fun!
This really sounds delicious and I really hope to try it. Have a wonderful trip. Blessings…Mary
Your cake looks great! I have been buying buttermilk to make the oh-so-easy Irish Soda bread with currants. It is so good.
Have a fantastic trip my friend – I doubt there would be leftovers but if there are, pack them because this coffee cake looks addictive 😀

You put two of my favorite fruits in a cake! Love it. Have fun with the boyfriend!
I can never resist a crumb topping. And, the fruit sounds fantastic in this!
I love mangoes and cherries too, but never thought of using them together. Yum! Hope you have a great camping trip!
Interesting fruit combination! I adore coffee cake, but don't have it that often.
Have fun on your camping trip! It sounds like it's going to be a lot of fun. And then coffee cake looks amazing! I totally understand why you have 1/3 of it.
Drool – this coffee cake looks moist and dense, just how a perfect coffee cake should be! I never would have thought cherries and mangoes would go well together. Have fun camping – make sure you bring lots of this cake along with you!
I hope you will have a great time!
And this coffee cake definitely looks tempting and addictive!

Nice balance with the sweeter crumb top. Next time I’ll put more fruit -maybe double. I also doubled the nutmeg. I highly recommend this.
