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 awhile back, I just had to try at least one more flavor using cake mix and kombucha.
For this 2 Ingredient Mango Cake, I used 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!
How to Make 2 Ingredient Mango Cake
Mix vegan gluten free vanilla cake mix with mango kombucha. Bake per instructions for your sized baking dish.
Top with the vegan cream cheese frosting recipe I included below or use your favorite frosting.
For the vegan cream cheese frosting, I used Tofutti cream cheese (my favorite) and mixed in maple syrup and salt. I like Tofutti because of it's taste and texture.
I've tried other brands of vegan cream cheese and some are downright liquidy. Not Tofutti, it's nice and firm.

Tips for Making 2 Ingredient Mango Cake
- Read labels! This goes for the cake mix and the kombucha. The cake mix has different times listed for the size 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.

I love these Pyrex baking dishes! I used a 7 ½" x 9 ½" baking dish for this recipe. It's great because it comes with a cover, so I can put it in the fridge without having to switch out the container first.
