Mahrez restored City’s lead just two minutes into the but Salah made it 2-2 just one minute after going 2-1 behind.
But City had the last laugh as Ake netted what proved to be the winner in the 58th minute.
City now join Manchester United, Leicester, Charlton, Newcastle, Nottingham Forest, Southampton and Wolverhampton Wanderers in the last eight.
Recall City have won four of the last five Carabao Cup titles and will be gunning for their ninth this season.
