Easy eggless mango cake recipe made with fresh mango pulp. The mango cake turns out absolutely soft, spongy bursting with mango flavour in every bite. It is made without yogurt (curd), butter or condensed milk.
It is summer time and also season for sweet juicy mangoes. If you are a mango lover like my family, then this fresh mango cake recipe is a must try. I have made it so many times and everybody just loves it.
The mango cake recipe shared here is simple to make and you need just few basic kitchen ingredients. It is:
- Vegetarian (no eggs used)
- Vegan
- Easy to make
- Made with fresh mangoes
- Perfect for summer season
Mango Cake Ingredients:
Flour: I have used all purpose flour (maida) to get perfect spongy texture.
Milk: Milk gives softness to the cake and adds flavour to it. For vegan mango cake, use plant based milk like soy milk.
Oil: Always use neutral oil (odourless & tasteless) for baking cakes or goods. If the oil has smell of its own then it alters the overall aroma of the cake.Oil makes the cake moist and adds richness to it. I have used sunflower oil here. Other oils that can be used: canola, avocado or olive oil.
Sugar: Granulated sugar has been used in this recipe. The quantity of sugar can be varied slightly if you like less sweet cakes.
Mango Pulp: Peel & deseed the mangoes. Extract the pulp using a knife and blend in a blender jar to make smooth puree. If fresh mangoes are not available, you can use tinned mango pulp.
Lemon Juice: Little bit of lemon juice compliments the sweet tropical mango flavour. Also as it is acidic in nature, it reacts with baking powder or soda and helps the cake in rising.
Nuts: You can top up the cake with some chopped almonds or pistachios for crunch. Its summer time so I have used soaked, peeled & sliced almonds to garnish on top.
Mango Essence / Colour: The cake turns out naturally subtle yellow in colour because of the mango puree used. If you want brighter colour, you can add little bit of edible yellow food colour or enhance the mango taste with mango essence. (I have not used any colour of essence here).
Mango Cake Serving / Decoration Ideas:
I love to have some chopped juicy mangoes and a scoop of vanilla ice cream with a slice of this moist mango cake. You can also serve it as tea time cake (dry cake) or decorate it with frosting for special occasions.
It can be frosted with whipped cream, coconut frosting, white chocolate ganache or dark chocolate ganache. You can find the detailed recipe for ganache in this chocolate cake recipe. As mango cake also goes well with cream cheese frosting, you can checkout its complete recipe in red velvet cupcakes post.
This mango cake post is special one as it marks 2nd blog anniversary. I still remember this day two years back when I was writing the first post on this blog, I was myself really unsure how things would turn out. Initial idea was just to compile a set of tried & tested recipes with some supporting images that would help the readers to understand and execute them.
Gradually, things started falling into place automatically. The first person who has encouraged me and supported me so much in this blog during these 2 years is my mom. She made sure she pushed me beyond the limits which I had set for myself. Without her, I don’t know what I would have done as a food blogger.
The other two persons who have been a part of this journey are my brother and husband. My brother has always been my honest critic which has really helped me in improvising my writing and designing skills. The person who really saw me grow in my journey of cooking is my husband. I had many ups and down during my trials for new recipes. Some were hit, some where flops but he made sure to bring a smile on my face even while eating those not-so-good dishes. I can’t thank him enough for his patience and positivity. I have learned so much from him in photography. The journey of clicking pictures from a mobile phone to DSLR was possible just because of him.
Last but not the least, to all the readers who send such beautiful comments and pictures of tried recipes, the mere thought of bringing a smile on someone’s face really motivates me to even work harder and come up with new interesting recipes every time.

Is it important to use sunflower oil only? Or I can use any other oil
Divya Jain
Hi Darshana.No it's not necessary to use sunflower oil only. You can use any oil which is odourless & tasteless. The main point is if oil has certain smell or taste it can alter the flavours of cake.

Can we make it with wholewheat?
Divya
You can use whole wheat but you will have to increase the amount of liquid ingredients as it absorbs more moisture.
Harpreet
