❤️Why I Love This Recipe
- It is 1-bowl recipe and very easy to make.
- The cake needs only 7 ingredients and sauce needs only 3 ingredients!
- Mango cake batter comes together in 15 minutes (from gathering ingredients to batter in the pan). So quick, right?
- Even though it is egg-free cake, it is soft, spongy, and perfectly moist cake.
- Mango pulp is added to the batter, so it gives yellow tinge but the cake has subtle mango flavor. For robust mango flavor, I would suggest adding mango extract.
- The sauce topping has a full-of-mango flavor. Plus, it is rich, creamy, sweet. This is the perfect way to top your eggless mango cake.
🧾Ingredients
Here are the only 7 ingredients to make eggless mango cake. (All purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cardamom powder, melted butter, mango pulp, condensed milk) Simple, easy to available at the grocery store!
Ingredient Notes:
- Cardamom powder: Just like other Indian mango recipes like mango halwa, mango shrikhand, I have used cardamom powder here. It goes perfectly with fresh mango flavor.
Variations: you can use ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon or ½ teaspoon ground ginger. Or use 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract.
- Mango pulp: Here I have used canned alphonso mango pulp which is easily available in Indian grocery stores. Yes, you can use fresh mango pureed into the blender. Personally, I prefer the Alphonso mango flavor, so I am using a canned one. The mangoes we get here in the USA do not have good flavors compared to Indian verities.
My canned mango pulp was already sweet, so I have not added any extra sugar. If using fresh mangoes then add sugar while grinding and make the pulp sweet.
- Condensed milk: This sweetened condensed milk works like a charm as an egg substitute. It gives a rich, sweet, and moist cake.

🍳Step By Step Photo Instructions
Prep:
- Pre-heat the oven 350°F or 180°C for at least 10 minutes.
- Melt the butter and let cool to room temperature.
- Grease the 9 inch round cake pan with butter or spray with oil. Keep it aside.
1) Take melted, cooled butter and mango pulp in a bowl.
2) Add condensed milk.
3) Whisk well till everything is incorporated well.
4) Sift dry ingredients directly over the wet ingredient mixture. Keep the sieve over the bowl, add all purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cardamom powder. Sift into the bowl.
5) Mix using wire whisk till the batter comes together.
6) pour into the prepared cake pan. Lightly shake and tap the pan on the countertop to evenly spread the batter.
7) Bake into the preheated oven for 38-40 minutes. Or till the toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. This is eggless mango cake, so slight sinking in the center is predictable, not to worry.
8) Let the cake cool in a pan for 5 minutes. Then loosen the sides using a butter knife and invert the cake into the cooling rack. Let it cool down completely, slice, and serve with a drizzle of mango sauce.
💭Expert Tips:
- Drizzle the mango sauce at the time of serving only otherwise cake will get soggy. If storing the cake for later, then I would suggest storing the sauce in a separate container in the refrigerator. Drizzle on the slice of the cake at the time of serving.
- Storing the cake: It stays good for 1-2 days at room temperature depending on the climate where you live. It stays good for 4-5 days in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
Not a fan of cardamom powder? Try any of these variations:
- ½ teaspoon of Cinnamon powder
- 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger. Yes, dry ginger powder and mango flavor go very well together. If you are familiar with aamras (Gujarati style), fresh mango pulp is topped with clarified butter and dry ginger powder.
Not a fan of mango sauce? Try any of these variations:
- Chocolate ganache topping (recipe shared in my eggless chocolate cake recipe)
- Drizzle the chocolate sauce.
- Make mango coconut cake. Make buttercream frosting with few drops of coconut extract. Then top with toasted, sweetened coconut flakes.
- One of the readers tried: Layered cake with raspberry preserve and lemon curd. Frosted with key lime whipped cream.
- Frost the cake with eggless mango mousse.
FAQs
Yes, you can. If using fresh mango puree then you need to add sugar to sweeten the mango pulp. My canned mango pulp is already sweetened.
Yes, you can. Drain the syrup or liquid from the can, use the mangoes, and make pulp. Taste test and add the sugar if required.
No, you cannot. Milk and sugar do not give a good spongy result. Here condensed milk is used as an egg-replacer. So it is must.
Yes, you can. I always prefer unsalted butter in my baking because I like to control the salt in my recipe.

Great recipe!

Thank you.

This cake came out very moist but even though I used ripe, fragrant, tangy delicious mangos, it did not taste of mango at ALL. The cardamom was detectable and the cake had a nice orange tint, but the mango was really undetectable.
I did not make the sauce and maybe that would have added to the flavor, but I wish the cake itself had tasted at least a bit of mango 🙁
Kanan Patel
Yes for strong, robust mango flavor, you need to add mango extract.
The mango sauce topping adds more of mango flavor.

I made this cake yesterday. It is delicious. We found it a little dry. What can I do to make it more moist? I also thought mine was more brown than yours, which could mean our oven is stronger and I should have given it less than 38 minutes. Any other thoughts? Thank you.
Kanan
yes try baking 4-5 minutes less than mentioned in the recipe.
Over baking makes the cake dry.
If you are using convection oven than it is possible that it gets brown quickly. I am using gas oven range.
