Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter or spray and line one 9×5 inch metal loaf pan. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda , baking powder and salt. Set aside.
In another bowl , using a handheld or stand mixer on medium speed , cream the sugar and butter until light and fluffy.
If you’re using canned mango puree , add 1/2 cup of sugar , because they already have some sugar in it. But add 3/4 cup of sugar , if you’re using fresh mango or frozen mango chunks.

Now add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Add mango puree , milk and lemon juice , mix well. It will look a little curdled at this point , but that’s okay , it will go away after adding the flour.
Add the flour mixture ( add half first , mix , and then add the rest ) and beat on low speed until just incorporated. Do not over mix ( you can just use a spatula at this point to avoid over-mixing ).
Fold in shredded coconut.
Pour batter into prepared pan , smooth the top.
Bake in preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of the loaf comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool completely before slicing.
