This easy vegan 2 Ingredient Mango Cake is a foolproof way to get dessert on the table fast! Made with a vegan cream cheese frosting.
After making a Super Moist 2 Ingredient Chocolate Cake a while back, I just had to try at least one more flavor using cake mix and kombucha.
For this 2 Ingredient Mango Cake, I used a vanilla vegan gluten-free cake mix and mango kombucha. The mango kombucha is pretty strong, so I figured it could hold its own in a cake recipe.
For the frosting, I made a vegan cream cheese frosting. It works perfectly because it's tangy and not too sweet, so it balances out the sweetness of the cake.
I then topped the 2 ingredient cake with chopped mango. Yum!
Other mango recipes to try are my Coconut Mango Ice Cream and my Mango Lemonade made in a blender.

- With the optional frosting recipe, it has a balance of flavors.
🧾 Ingredients
- Vanilla cake mix: I used a vegan gluten-free vanilla cake mix.
- Mango kombucha: I love the flavor mango kombucha adds, but you could really use any flavor you like.
Frosting (optional)
- Vegan cream cheese: Adds a tangy flavor. I like Tofutti because of its taste and texture. I've tried other brands of vegan cream cheese and some are downright liquidy. Tofutti is nice and firm.
- Maple syrup: Adds sweetness. You could also use agave syrup.
- Salt: Enhances sweetness.

💭 Tips
- Read labels! This goes for the cake mix and the kombucha. The cake mix has different times listed for the size of baking dish you're using. I used a 7 ½" x 9 ½" baking dish, so I baked my cake for 40 minutes.
- As for the kombucha, read how many ounces your kombucha is. When I made this the first time, I poured the whole bottle in, not thinking. My bottle is 16 ounces, but the cake only needs 12 ounces. If you make that mistake, all is not lost, the cake just cooks a bit uneven. (I have about ½ a cake in my freezer because I am not a big cake eater.)
- Whisk to get all the lumps out, but do not overmix. You don't need any special equipment - a whisk or fork will do.
- Don't forget to grease the baking dish with coconut oil or spray.
- When a toothpick comes out clean, your cake is done. It will also be a golden color (see photo above).
- If you like a lot of frosting, you may want to double the frosting recipe.
