Hey there, it’s Anne Carter. I’m super excited to share one of my all-time favorite recipes with you today – A Delicious Mango Cake. When mangos are in season, this wonderfully simple and incredibly delicious egg-free Mango Cake with Mango Mousse Frosting is the ideal dessert to create.
I’ve tried loads of recipes over the years. Some used oil instead of butter, some even skipped eggs. They turned out okay, but something was missing. Then, I thought of combining the classic pound cake with mango goodness.
Finally got my hands on some mangoes last week and went wild experimenting. I’ve tested this recipe twice, and it’s a winner! The first time, I used oil, and it was decent. Now, I’m excited to share it with you!
So are you all ready to learn the magic of baking this quick yet delicious cake? If yes, just grab your apron and start the recipe of the day.

Notes
-
Adjust the amount of sugar based on how sweet your mangoes are:
- If your mangoes are sweet, 1/2 cup of sugar should be perfect.
- If your mangoes are not very sweet, add an extra 2 tablespoons of sugar.
- Always use fresh milk that has been boiled and cooled down to room temperature.
- Make mango puree by blending the pulp of mangoes in a mixer jar until smooth.
- You can use castor sugar, but regular granulated white sugar works fine too.
- If you’re using wheat flour instead of maida (all-purpose flour), you may need a little more milk to achieve the desired consistency.
- Even if you halve the recipe, the cake will still take time to bake because of the mangoes. Cakes with fruits generally take longer to bake, so keep an eye on it.
