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.
Hi Seema, the cake is sturdy enough for Fondant but the frosting is not. So use a buttercream or any other sturdy frosting .
Hi Khushboo, many thanks for posting such great eggless recipes. Had just a little query, can i drape it with fondant? Will it be sturdy enough?
Thanks again
We shared this eggless mango cake this week. Everyone in the family loves it! Every bite burst with happiness, it’s like the heaven opened its gates. This is so good, so thumbs up!
Thank you for your feedback Jasbir. I will test this recipe again with your given tips.
I made this cake twice, the first time exactly as your recipe and it was good but dense. The second time I added a tbsp of apple cider vinegar to the milk before mixing the wet ingredients and added 1 tsp of egg replacer powder to the dry ingredients. It had the same great taste as the first batch but soft and fluffy. 🙂 Thanks for the recipe.
I am glad you like it Komal. Caramel and mango is an odd combo and the cake will be overly sweet in my opinion.
Thank you Jp. You can sub the all purpose flour with whole wheat flour . The result will be a little dense.
Hey,
I have made this cake and I really thank you for this recipe
It turns out awesome.. I make it with cream cheese
Whipping frosting.. I just have one doubt… I was
Planning to add caramel sauce drip on top of it
But was not sure that will it go with it or not.. can
You please suggest me
An awesome recipe. Quick q: Can you give recipe with whole wheat flour?
Pudding does thicken as it cools. If you think the pudding isn’t thick enough then simply add 1 teaspoon more cornstarch/ white corn flour to it . Hmm did you over beat the batter? It can make final cake a bit tough. Just mix until lumpfree.
Hello Abby , by powdered sugar you mean just ground sugar or using store bought confectioner’s sugar?
What should be the substitution if using powdered sugar ?
No .. you may just enjoy it without any frosting.
Hi there,
This mango cake looks amazing. Mangos season is going on and it is a very good idea to make a mango cake. I guess everyone would love it.
Warm Regards

Thanks for this recipe. I recently tried it for my kids. It tasted good, but I couldn’t get two things right. One, that it wasn’t as fluffy/soft as it should have been…and second, that the pudding did not thicken as expected. Can you please help me address these two shortcomings?
Btw, I had churned mango pulp in a mixer…just a little bit..
Thank you
Shilpi
Is the cream cheese frosting necessary
Awesome Sarla!
Tried this cake with tin purée . It was tasty. Many thanks.
I prefer Ataulfo mangoes for fresh ones and canned alphonso pulp . The frosting used here isn’t overly sweet.
Hi khushboo, am drooling looking at this cake😍😍. I want to try my hands on this for my daughter’s birthday(9th June) but have few questions please guide me
1. I have never tried buying mango here in USA after couple of bad experiences. May i know What mangos did you use? If I plan to buy canned which one would you recommend?
2. My family is not a fan of buttercream/ cream cheese.
They don’t like too sweet too.Having said that you said it wouldn’t taste cream cheese it’s used only to sturdy the whipping cream am i right?
Please reply
Thank you,
Shilpa
Happy birthday to your son Sandhya! I am glad you liked it .

Tried this eggless mango cake yesterday for my son’s birthday. It was so yummy. I did buttercream icing as we don’t like cream cheese.
I baked the cake today it came out super yummy
Can I use non dairy milk ya nondairy yogurt instead of dairy milk?

This mango cake looks so good! I just so happen to have a large can of mango purée that I was SUPPOSED to make a cheesecake from; saving this recipe for when I have time in the next little while.
