Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and prepare loaf pan with baking spray or a little butter and flour.
In one mixing bowl, combine 2 cups flour, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon ginger, 1.5 teaspoon cinnamon and 2 teaspoon of baking soda. Mix well and set aside.
In another mixing bowl add 1 cup sugar with ½ teaspoon of lemon zest. Use your fingers to pinch the zest into the sugar until well combined and fragrant. Add ½ cup of melted butter and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Whisk to combine. Add ½ cup yogurt, 3 eggs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
Add in half of the flour mixture into the wet mixture and stir to combine. Then add the second half of the flour and stir just until there are no more white streaks of flour. Be careful not to overwork the batter. Add in 2 cups of diced fresh mango and fold until just incorporated. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. If using, mixing 1 tablespoon of Turbinado sugar (or granulated sugar) with a pinch of cinnamon. Sprinkle the mixture evenly on the top of the bread batter.
Bake the mango bread in the oven at 350 degrees F for about 1 hour or until a toothpick comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for a couple minutes before transferring the loaf to a wire cooling rack.Allow the bread to cool completely before serving. Enjoy!
