Light, fluffy, and full of mango flavor, this vegan mango cake comes together with simple ingredients you likely already have at home. Perfect for any occasion when you want an easy dessert that still feels special.
Growing up in India, mangoes were always my favorite fruit, showing up in all kinds of desserts and drinks. Funny enough, I had never tried baking a mango cake until I came across this vegan version on a friend’s blog, and I was instantly curious to give it a go.
This cake keeps things simple with basic pantry ingredients and no special equipment. Store bought mango puree works perfectly, making it easy to mix everything together and bake a soft, flavorful eggless mango cake. Next time, I am planning to add a hint of ground cardamom and a few saffron strands for a more fragrant twist.
If you love mango desserts as much as I do, you might enjoy this creamy tofu mango pudding, sip on a refreshing raspberry mango smoothie, or browse through my collection of no bake mango desserts for more easy ideas.

Happy Blog anniversary Madhu! Cake looks very cute. I made a cake for the Wilton class with mango puree with the readymade cake mix instead of the water and it turned out great.
A-kay says
The cake looks really nice, I will probably substitute mango with some other fruit, though. You do sound really tired, hope things are fine at your end. Take care, Madhu!
