Guysssss!!!!!!! you gotta try this four layer eggless mango cake . I am happy to share one of my favorite summer cake recipe with you today which is a dream of every mango lover. This moist and spongy mango cake is layered with homemade easy mango pudding for a great fruity punch and further layered with this creamy dreamy whipped cream cheese frosting.Moreover this mango cake recipe is egg free , has no butter or condensed milk .
It is made with simple ingredients that you will find in your kitchen. Make this cake with fresh mangoes when they are in season or canned mango pulp all year round.
The eggless mango cake recipe that I am sharing with you today tastes great on it’s own. But if you have some time on hand do make the mango pudding as well as the whipped cream cheese frosting . It won’t take much time to make these components. The moment you will take the very first bite of this four layered dreamy mango cake you will be happy that your effort was worth it!
I am not much of a icing fan. I love my cakes straight out of the oven. But this frosting is so so good and it complements the fruity taste from the mangoes perfectly. This whipped cream cheese frosting is a combination of cream cheese and whipping cream which makes this frosting lighter than the classic buttercream. What I like about this frosting is that it isn’t overly sweet. A perfect fruity cake for everyone to enjoy!
You might be thinking why am I posting cake recipes back to back. It’s mango season and I terribly miss mangoes from India 🙁 My instagram is filled with people flaunting a big bowl of alphonso mangoes or enjoying aam ras . These mango cravings got me to make this mango cake. I got a great response on my eggless tiramisu poke cake that I posted last week that is why I couldn’t wait to share this delicious cake recipe with you.
If you are interested in other eggless cake recipes make sure you have a look into my cakes and bakes section- link here.
I feel cream cheese pairs well with fruit based cakes. If you want to try other frostings then feel free to browse these delicious and easy frostings- link here.
Given below is a quick pictorial of assembling the cake . For more details on how to assemble layered cake refer to my Salted caramel death by chocolate cake for detailed explanation – link here.
I wanted to keep the frosting simple hence went for a rustic look. I have frosted the cake with some yellow and orange tinted whipped cream cream cheese frosting on the outside of the cake and topped it with two tone swirls. I have even added a quick mango rose in the center. Making this rose is so much fun plus you get to taste real slices of mangoes in your cake!

Happy cooking! Do share it with the world! Thanks for stopping by.
Sounds great Gail. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Cardamom and almond complements the mango flavor well! I am sure it was wonderful!
Very nice tried slicing the 2 single cakes to make 4 but they where quite thin so only did a 3 layer cake but delish put the cardomin in too and used almond milk worked a treat
My friend just tried it with a boxed mix and it turned out superb. I will check with her how to go about it and get back to you.
Hi,
Can this be made with a boxed cake?
Thank you for your feedback Ana. Always check if the cake is done with a toothpick. Every oven is different. Yes you may alter the consistency of the mango pudding.If you are using Mexican mangoes , mango essence will definitely bring out more flavor. Thank you for trying it.
I am glad you that you liked this recipe Neikhila. I have never baked in a 12″ pan. You can easily double the recipe for a 9 ” pan. Try multiplying and making it. I have no idea about larger surface cakes especially eggless ones.
I have made it with success and used mango flavored buttercream and covered in fondant successfully. What I wanted to find out was if I had to say double or quadruple the recipe to make 12 in round cake about 3-4 inch tall does the recipe need alterations or if is directly multiple of 2 or 4 as needed
I love fruit cakes especially Mango cake. The pics you shared are really amazing. I made a mango cake on the occasion of my brother’s birthday and came out very delightful. Thanks
Hello Mamata. Thin coconut milk will do.
Hi. Looks great! Excited to try this! If I use coconut milk instead of regular milk, do you recommend the thick canned coconut milk or the thinner one in a carton? Thanks
