Ingredients You’ll Need
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup mango puree (fresh or canned)
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt (Greek or regular)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp ground cardamom (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Ingredient Highlights
Mango Puree – Use ripe mangoes like Alphonso or Ataulfo for the sweetest flavor. Canned puree works well too, especially if mangoes aren’t in season.
Yogurt – It replaces eggs and keeps the crumb moist and soft.
Vegetable Oil – Adds richness and a tender texture.
Lemon Juice – Activates baking soda and brightens the overall flavor.
Cardamom – Optional, but highly recommended for a subtle aromatic boost.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prep Your Equipment
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a bundt pan thoroughly and dust it lightly with flour. Make sure to get into all the grooves so the cake unmolds cleanly.
Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cardamom. Sifting ensures a lighter texture and prevents clumps.
Step 3: Combine Wet Ingredients
In a separate large bowl, whisk mango puree, yogurt, sugar, oil, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth and glossy. The mixture should be slightly thick but pourable.
Step 4: Fold It All Together
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture in two or three batches. Gently fold with a spatula or whisk just until combined. Do not overmix. If adding nuts, stir them in now.
Step 5: Fill and Bake
Pour the batter into your prepared bundt pan and tap gently to release air bubbles. Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the deepest part of the cake comes out clean.
Step 6: Cool and Unmold
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then carefully flip it onto a wire rack to cool completely. Avoid unmolding too soon or it may break apart.
Serving Ideas
This eggless mango bundt cake is wonderful on its own, but here are a few fun serving options:
- Simple and Classic: Dust lightly with powdered sugar.
- Tropical Finish: Top with toasted coconut flakes and mango cubes.
- Glazed Goodness: Mix powdered sugar with a splash of mango puree and lemon juice for a beautiful glaze.
- Chilled Pairing: Serve with a scoop of mango or vanilla ice cream.

Expert Tips for Success
- Use room temperature yogurt and mango puree for even mixing.
- If using canned mango, choose unsweetened puree to control sweetness.
- Sift dry ingredients to avoid lumps and ensure a tender crumb.
- Don’t skip greasing the bundt pan well—it makes all the difference.
- Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the cake light and soft.
- Let the cake cool fully before slicing to get clean cuts.
