Hawaiian Fruit & Nut Quick Bread

This is called bread but the texture is more like cakes - soft & moist. It may looked ugly from the photo but I just love the taste. Uniquely the cake adds cubed mangoes which the reason why I tried this recipe. The recipe is from one of my imported book collections but have modified slightly with local ingredients and reduced sugar amount. The natural sweetness from the mango compliment the overall taste very well.
