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!

Vinita
Hi, I am about to try this recipe soon. Could you please tell me the difference between pulp & puree? I am planning to use fresh mangoes for both. So, would I blend the mangoes in the mixer for both? If yes, how would they differ in their consistencies? Thanks!
Khushboo
Puree is like dosa batter consistency. Pulp would be more thick.
Smita
I made this cake today for my parents wedding anniversary. Cake itself was very spongy. Mango pudding helped enhance mango flavor and frosting was perfect. It was a hit with my chocolate cake loving family. I used slightly less sugar in the frosting and it was perfect sweetness for us. Thank you for the great recipe.
Khushboo
Happy anniversary to your parents. I am glad that the recipe worked out for you and you enjoyed it. Thank you for the lovely feedback.
Melanie
How many layers is their cake supposed to be? I am confused on which size to use 6 or 8 inch Pans
Khushboo
Hi, It makes 8″ one cake tin two layers cake or two 6″ cake tins, four-layer cake.
Harshali Kothari
This cake looks so delicious!! Want to know if brushing sugar syrup on the Cake layers would make it moist just like your Black Forest Cakes?
Thank for all the wonderful recipes
Khushboo
Hello Harshali, sugar syrup indeed keeps the cake layers moist. You can use it if desired.
Nisha
This cake was delicious! I used kesar mango pump and the mango flavor was just amazing. The pudding in between the cake layer just add that extra mango taste. Love it. So so delicious.
I’ll be making this cake on repeat 😊
Thanks!
Khushboo
Awesome! Nisha thank you for a lovely feedback!
Kiran
Hi I tried this recipe just now. Cake is fluffy and yummy. I added vanilla and cardamom too. Only thing is while eating it is slightly goeyee and sticking in the mouth. Also middle part of cake raised like a mountain. What could have gone wrong?
Khushboo
Hello Kiran, it seems like your cake wasn’t completely cooked in the center. Every oven is different so always check with a toothpick. Cake mounting in the center could be that your oven is running too hot or too many raising agents. Did you overuse baking soda?
Kruthiga
I tried this recipe last weekend without the pudding and it came out very well. But we missed the mango flavor in the cake. It tasted like vanilla cake. I used canned puree. Should I increase the quantity of mango puree to get the flavor?
Khushboo
Hey Kruthinga, any fruit flavor is delicate in the cake. That is why I have added the pudding. You can add 1/2 teaspoon mango extract to the cake. I don’t advise more mango puree. Saying that, the mango flavor does shine up pretty strong in the cake as well. Which type of mango canned puree did you use?
Rachana Patel
Do I have to use the same quantity of canned mango purée if I am using fresh mango purée?
Khushboo
Hello Rachana, you mean if you are not using fresh mango puree? Yes same quantity, just sugar will differ as store-bought one is very sweet.
Tanti
Hi, can I use regular frosting instead of cream cheese because vegan cream cheese here is not so appealing:) Thanks
Khushboo
Hello Tanti, if you are not vegan use regular cream cheese. A simple whipped cream frosting also goes really well with this mango cake. I have couple of frosting recipes on my blog.
Richa
The frosting tasted really good but my cake was not fluffy enough, can u please tell what wiuld have been the possible reason for it
Khushboo
Hello Richa, it could be several reasons. Old baking powder or soda. Thicker batter, excessive whisking.
Suha
Can I use eggs in this recipe? If yes what are the measurement adjustments?
Khushboo
Hello Suha, I do not consume eggs so can’t tell you how to adjust the recipe.
RajLakshmi
Thanks for the recipe. This recipe for the cake is very easy to prepare and comes out very well and is super delicious .
This is only cake that I have bee able to bake successfully.
Si
What is the difference between mango pulp in the pudding and mango puree in the cake? I only have Kesar Sweetened Mango pulp, can I use that for both of these things? Or is there a way to substitute it in?
Khushboo
Yes, Kesar mango pulp works. Just keep it puree consistency.
Pooja
Can i use frozen Mango puree that we stored from summer? Or do we have to use canned mango puree? Please reply asap as I am in the process of making it currently! Thank you
Khushboo
Either Works Pooja, I have store-bought puree which is already sweetened.
Nk
Hi Khushboo,
Thanks for the wonderful recipe. Made this cake and my entire family loved it. It was soft and moist. I had one problem though, the cake crumbled when cut and the layers were not able to hold together in the hand, it was falling apart. Could you please suggest why this happened, so that next time I try, it comes out firmer.
Khushboo
Thank you for your feedback NK. I am not sure why did the cake crumble. It holds up really well. Did you cut while it was warm? Did it cook through?
Reshma
Followed this recipe to make my kids birthday cake. It worked perfectly, the cake was soft and the frosting was so stable.
I like to make eggless bakes and this recipe is a keeper for our mango loving family.
Thank you so much 😊
Khushboo
Happy birthday to your kid. I am happy that this cake turned out well for you! Thank you for a lovely feedback!
Kiran
Hi Khusbhoo, Can I use canned mango purée to make mango pudding?
Khushboo
Sure Kiran, I do it all the time. Canned puree works.
Miranda
This is an amazing recipe, thank you! I’ve made this twice now and everyone always asks for seconds!
Khushboo
Oh wow Miranda, I am glad you like the recipe, enjoy!
Babloo
Mam, you have mentioned 1cup=240gms but in the ingredients it states 1 1/2cup or 217gms. Please clarify
Khushboo
Hello Babloo, US 1 cup = 240 ml and not grams. Every ingredient weighs differently even if it is filled in 1 cup. So if you are following cup wise stick to it and if you are weighing follow that for everything.
Sonal Harite
Hi.. my cake dint rise and middle portion remained bit unbaked.. what could be the reason
Khushboo
Hello Sonal, did you use fresh baking powder and soda? And what pan size was used? Baking time highly depends on that. And always rely on the toothpick test as every oven is different too.
Shweta
Hello ,
Can you pls tell how to make mango lychee cake with whipping cream
Thanks in advance
Khushboo
Hello Shweta, are you looking for chopped lychee im this mango cake?
Dr. Natasha
Is there any way to do this in a convection microwave setting?
Khushboo
Hello Dr.Natasha, convection mode works as a regular oven so yes if you are used to baking other cakes in that mode then please bake this one the same way. Check at 30-minute mark as time may vary!
Surabhi
Loved the outcome🌸
Thanks for sharing this easy recipe!!
Khushboo
I am happy you enjoyed it Surabhi!
Kopal
I did as per the instructions but the cake didn’t get cook in the inside. It reached a point where the outside got burnt but still from inside it was wet and left uncooked. My mangoes got wasted 🥺 And I tried for more than 1 and half hour
Khushboo
I am sorry that your results were not great. It is very unlikely for the cake not to cook. If you see, many readers including me have great results every time. WHat pan size did you use? and did you measure everything properly.
Shubhi
Hello,
Cake seems too tempting.. Any substitute for cornstarch in cake part?
Khushboo
Yes, I have updated the post Shubhi with substitutes.
Shubhi
Thanks for the response. I have one more query. I have only one cake tin of 6″ and no other size. So can I bake the cake in 2 parts ? I mean first bake half batter,,, n then after 30 min’s the remaining batter?
Or if you could give measurements in cups for a single 6″ inch cake tin, please….
Khushboo
Hi Shubhi, simply slash the recipe into half for making just one 6″ cake.
Kirti
I am scared to use lemon juice and baking soda together. Don’t know how will it react as i have never used them together? How will skipping lemon juice affect recipe
Khushboo
Hi Kirti, lemon juice or vinegar reacts with baking soda to give it a lift. If you want to skip it use 1 tablespoon yogurt instead.
Geeta Pippalla
I tried this for our daughters birthday. It was a big hit. Thanks for the detailed instructions. It was my first time attempting. Thanks again
Khushboo
Hello Geeta, I am glad you liked the recipe. Thank you for a lovely feedback!
Neha
This cake turned out so, so good! It’s moist and gooey and the cream cheese frosting makes the flavors come together. Mangoes are one of my favorites and I’m sure I’ll make this cake again!!
Yesha
We absolutely LOVED this cake!
We made a vegan version of this and the oat milk did not change the flavor at all. So moist and soft!
The mango pudding spread was fantastic!!
This is definetly a keeper recipe.
Roshani
Hi what was your vegan frosting recipe? Thanks
Khushboo
Hello Roshani, I have a cream cheese frosting recipe in my strawberry cake recipe. You can refer to that one.
Manasa Ram mohan
Hi, planning to do it tomorrow. Can I just layer only with the mango pudding and not use the cream frosting? Will that work?
Khushboo
Yes Manasa, you can make it like that. You can even choose some other frosting or no frosting like a tea time cake.
Tej
Hey khushboo,
Yes please do bake on the weekend and please give the measurements in grams.
Would be glad
Thank you !
MSS
Can I substitute all purpose flour with cake flour since I have it in my pantry ? If yes do I still add cornflour ? Or should I stick with all purpose and cornflour ? Please suggest. BTW this is going to be my second attempt. First time was big hit. Thank you sooo much for tips and recipes !!
Khushboo
Hello MSS, yes you may swap all purpose flour and cornflour with cake flour. This means you will skip cornflour. I am happy that you enjoyed this recipe.
Geetha Harsha
Hi Khushboo,mango cake came out beautifully,the colour, texture everything is perfect,but the taste is bitter…can you please tell me why☹️
Khushboo
Bitter? hmm, I never had an experience of a bitter cake. Did you over use vinegar or may be a spoilt lemon. Because I can’t figure a reason why the cake could possibly be bitter.
Swati
I have tried twice but there’s some problem in the recipe as both the times the cake didn’t come out fluffy at all. It’s like a barfi and not baked bread.
Khushboo
Hello Swati, I have tried this recipe many times so did many of my readers with great feedback. I am sorry that your bake resulted like a barfi. If you see the quantity of baking powder and soda, it is impossible for the cake not to fluff up. Please check the strength of your leavening agents. I suspect that to be old. Did you measure everything as per the recipe? Let me know.
Jasmine
The cake came out fluffy and yummy. I tested it to be safe before making on my sons birthday next week . It’s so yummy even without the frosting. Looking forward to make a complete frosted cake. Thanks hun!
Khushboo
I am glad that this cake worked for you Jasmine. Awaiting photos.
joannah
Hi! you have a recipe dor mango puree? Hope you can share, thanks
Khushboo
Hello Joannah, for mango puree you just blend the fresh mango pieces in a blender with 2-3 tablespoon water per 1 cup of chunks and form a thick pourable puree.
Sri
Hi, am planning to bake this. It looks beautiful. I want to bake a small cake. What is the measurement of the cup here? Is it 240ml?
Khushboo
Hello Sri, yes, it is 240 ml. I have updated the base cake weight measurements.
Tej
Hi khushboo,
I am tej.
I am from india.
Your recipe looks amazing and i want to try it.
But i want to make this recipe for 7 people.
And the measurements are not clear.
Could you please give the measurements in grams too?!
Would appreciate it
Thank you!
Khushboo
Hello Tej, I will bake this cake on the weekend again and update the measures in grams.
Gopika
Hi, what all must I keep in mind if I’m going for a microwave version of the same recipe?
Khushboo
Hi Gopika, I haven’t tried making this cake in a microwave. It will cook way faster of course.
Mahak
Hi, do you have the metric measurements for this recipe??? Looks amazing 😍😍😍
Khushboo
Yes, sure Mahak, I will be updating this weekend.
Jaya
This is such a good recipe. Turned out so well, and I didn’t change a thing. Mine did not rise enough for 4 layers but it doesn’t matter, it tastes delicious. Thank you for the recipe.
mansi mittal
Hey hi, I followed the recipe to the T, however my cake was dense and mushy, it was sticking onto the mouth. I cut it only after it cooled down fully. What could have gone wrong.
Khushboo
Hello Mansi. I suspect it isn’t baked. Did you do the toothpick test? Every oven is different. So it’s important you insert a toothpick to check whether the cake is done or not.
Somya Jain
Hi Khusbhoo,
I tried the recipe. The cake was yum but it wasn’t fluffy enough. What step shall I take to make the cake fluffy? thanks
Khushboo
Hi Somya, mango puree differs, so if you are in short of liquid add more. This cake turns out moist and fluffy for me. And make sure your baking soda and powder are full strength and not expired.
Kim
Can I use spelt flour with coconut flour or some other sort of a healthy flour combo,instead of white flour? Recipe looks yummy!
Khushboo
Hi Kim, you can do whole wheat flour , oat flour and almond flour combo. I haven’t tried it with the flour mentioned by you.
Tanya
Can u plz share the measurements with oat, almond and whole wheat flour?
Khushboo
Hi Tanya, I would do 60% whole wheat flour and 20 % almond and oats flour. The liquid needs to be adjusted accordingly.
Maulishri agrawal
My cake did not baked well, it was wet even after baking for 2 hrs. I had followed the recipe correctly. Don’t know where it went wrong. Would suggest never try it
Khushboo
Hello Maulishri, sorry that your cake didn’t bake. If you see the ingredient list it has enough leavening agent to fluff up the cake. Did you forget to add them? Or check your oven temperature.
Krishna Kishore
Hey. This cake looks delicious and I’m planning to make this cake For my parents’ anniversary tomorrow. But I wanted to ask whether it is okay to keep the mango pudding overnight in the refrigerator separately till I assemble the cake (the frosting and all) tomorrow morning or should I apply it on the cake and then keep the cake in the refrigerator and only keep the frosting separately.
Khushboo
Hi Krishna, I hope you have received my email on this query. Yes, you can store mango pudding 2-3 days in the fridge without any problem.
Isra
I made it for the 3rd time and it turned out amazing! This time I added orange zest and some blackberries 😍😍😍
Khushboo
Yayy awesome, orange sounds yum!!
Manpreet
Hello, I want to try this recipe. But just 2 of us so can I get the measurements for a smaller cake? Can I just halve all the ingredients?
Khushboo
Manpreet, you can cut the recipe into half and make it or even 1/4th.
Aish Manu
Delicious and yummy cakes, Looking beautiful mango flavour cakes,
Kinjal Shah
Hi Khushbu thank you for lovely recipe. Can you use wheat flour?
Khushboo
Hello Kinjal, yes you can use wheat flour. The cake will need more liquid, so adjust it accordingly.
gail chadwick
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
Khushboo
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!
SJ
Hi,
Can this be made with a boxed cake?
Khushboo
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.
Neikhila Thakare
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
Khushboo
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.
Thanmayee
How long should I bake if I double the ingredients?
Khushboo
Hello Thanmayee, It depends on the size of pan used.
Himanshu Thakur
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
Mamata
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
Khushboo
Hello Mamata. Thin coconut milk will do.
Isra
Thanks for sharing this cake! I made it twice so fast and it taste so good!
I used apricot jam instead of mango pudding as a shortcut 😅
Khushboo
Apricot sounds yum Isra!
Riya
Hi Khushboo,
I made this cake and it was so tasty and delightful!
I believe that use of vinegar/lime juice is to convert the milk to buttermilk. So, will it be ok if I used coconut milk instead of milk to bring a coconut flavour with a different fruit or should I skip the vinegar/lime juice?
Khushboo
Sure you can use coconut milk. Do add vinegar as it is essential for baking soda to react and make the cake fluffy .
Farida Banu
I am one of the mango favourites. This mango cake is just melting.
Arzoo
Great work. I loved the color of the cake, it’s quite soothing.
Isra
Hi I just made this cake today for ny son’s birthday and it turned out amazing! So moist and yummy! Thank you so much
Khushboo
Happy birthday to your son Isra. I am glad you liked it.
Yasina Chhetri
I am vegan. And it’s one of my favorite. Thanks a lot for the recipe. I love you guyss!!!
Nikita
Hi Khusboo
This recipe looks really lovely and tempting. I want to try it for my daughter’s 8th Birthday. Can I used tin mango pulp instead of fresh? I am good at baking but not very good at icing so hopefully it should be fine. But I want to make this cake for 20 people. How can I take measurements then?
I always get wrong with cake when I don’t follow measurement.
Can I use butter cream for frosting? And can you tell me what will be the measurements for that?
sorry asking too much but I really want to try this.
Khushboo
Hello Nikita, yes you can use tin mango pulp. For 20 servings I suggest bake it in 9″ round pan. Use this recipe twice to get two layers of sponge. Fill it with desired frosting and ice the sides plus the top.Decorate as preferred.
dimple jain
i have tried this recipe, trust me its yummylicious !!!! the recipe looks bit lengthy but onces you start preparing it goes on vry easy.. thank you kushboo for the delicious recipe.
i have a request for you, caan you please try rasgulla cake . 🙂
Khushboo
Thank you for a lovely feedback Dimple.Request noted.
Bandana
I made this cake for my niece birthday as she is a mango fan . Cake was a big hit at the party . Such a great change from chocolate cake. Thank you.
Ana
So after careful consideration of the recipe and comments I tried this. It was surprisingly good. Couple of things though,
1. The cake itself was a little gooey (maybe I should have left it in the oven longer?) but the taste was good.
2. The mango pudding needs far more cornstarch because it was too runny for my taste.
I added 1/2 teaspoon of mango essence to the cake to bring out the flavor
The cake proved to be pretty sturdy for constructing and didn’t lose its shape.
All in all it’s a keeper!
Khushboo
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.
Ana
If I cut the recipe in half does that mean I would use one 6inch pan?
Khushboo
Yes Ana, 6″ pan will work well if you halve the recipe.
Nanda
Made this cake twice this week. It was so delicious. Spongy and fruity. Thanks khushboo for always giving us easy recipes that work too.
Khushboo
I am glad you enjoyed it Nanda. Thank you for a lovely feedback.
Priya
Cake is flat and half baked using recipie as is. Would be better to just use a regular cake recipie, replace the water with mango pulp, and eggs with apple sauce. Ended up baking the cake round for 1 hr at 400 and it’s still all goop
Khushboo
Aah such a bummer Priya. Sorry for that! I have baked this cake numerous times for my family and friends without any problem. So did many of my readers with great results. Did you skip the baking powder or soda by mistake? were they fresh and not expired? What size baking pan are you using? Let’s work it out.
Seema
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
Khushboo
Hi Seema, the cake is sturdy enough for Fondant but the frosting is not. So use a buttercream or any other sturdy frosting .
Jeff Shft
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!
Jasbir
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.
Khushboo
Thank you for your feedback Jasbir. I will test this recipe again with your given tips.
Payal
Hi khushboo,
I want to make this cake with 4 layers.
I have 2 9inch pans. How many times do i have to multiply the recipe?
Khushboo
For a 9 ” pan and 4 layers I suggest you double this recipe.
Komal
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
Khushboo
I am glad you like it Komal. Caramel and mango is an odd combo and the cake will be overly sweet in my opinion.
Jp
An awesome recipe. Quick q: Can you give recipe with whole wheat flour?
Khushboo
Thank you Jp. You can sub the all purpose flour with whole wheat flour . The result will be a little dense.
Abby
What should be the substitution if using powdered sugar ?
Khushboo
Hello Abby , by powdered sugar you mean just ground sugar or using store bought confectioner’s sugar?
Raushan Shaw
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
YummyCake
Rachana
Hi khushboo, I like your receipes. It will be possible to cut the cake in 4 layers with this method? My cakes always break even in 2 layers. Also I have MR 40 litre off. On which mode generally cakes are done? I make with both rods on. I have to gift this cake to someone so it should come out nice right?
Khushboo
Hello Rachana, as far as I know, you only need bottom element (rod) to be heated, not both. As you can see I have made a four-layer cake with ease. Work with gentle hands and refigerate the cake before cutting the layers.
Shilpi
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

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.

Is the cream cheese frosting necessary
Khushboo
No .. you may just enjoy it without any frosting.

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

I prefer Ataulfo mangoes for fresh ones and canned alphonso pulp . The frosting used here isn’t overly sweet.

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.
Khushboo
Happy birthday to your son Sandhya! I am glad you liked it .

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.
Khushboo
Thank you Kellie. Do try it soon!

Hi what sort of vinegar please
Khushboo
White vinegar or rice vinegar works well. Alternatively you can substitute it with lemon or lime juice.
