My penchant for something sweet after a meal is hereditary. For me no meal is ever complete without the last bite of something sweet. the idea of baking this beautiful mango upside down cake after I saw it on one of the cooking channel on television. Just the look of it was so inviting that I couldn't resist it trying it myself.
