You can take the girl out of Matlacha, but you can’t take the mangos of Pine Island away from the girl. This Gluten and Dairy Free Poppy Seed Mango Bundt Cake is a mashup of both tropical and traditional flavors.
Bundt cakes are one of my favorite desserts to bake. They’re instantly beautiful thanks to the decorate pans they bake in, and their light glazes make them ideal for any occasion, regardless of the time of day.
A Taste of the Tropics
This Gluten and Dairy Free Poppy Seed Mango Bundt Cake reminds me of Matlacha. We just moved from the tropical Florida waterside town. Nestled on Pine Island, the island boasts numerous mango farms and homes with trees heavy with ripe mangos.
What goes better with a burst of tropical mango than orange? While the traditional citrus combination with poppy seeds is lemon, the orange adds a sunny sweet flavor while still bringing that pop of tartness.

Wondering how in the world to get the BEST bake every time? We’ve laid it all out for you.
For this recipe you can use fresh mangos or frozen mangos. They get pureed, flavoring the first bite to the last bite of this moist and beautiful cake.
Poppy seeds add that irresistible little bite and pop. Also adding texture if you decide, coconut. I love sprinkling shaved coconut all over the orange glaze. Just imagine sinking your fork into that tender, moist cake, the happy flavors of orange and mango infused in every bite, perfuming the air. And then the little crunch of shaved coconut. I don’t know about you, but this cake practically makes me feel like I’m on vacation!

- If your cake starts getting a little too dark while baking lightly cover it with foil for the last ten minutes of baking to prevent it from over browning.
