Mango Mania - Vegan Whole Wheat Mango Cake

Even though my house hold is gluten free and I am moving more towards Almond flour for all baking needs. I do get requests to make certain cakes from my other  family members and this is one of the cake which I made for my Parents couple of weeks before I went on vacation.  Very easy to make and was liked by everybody for whom I made this. So if you are not on a gluten free, grain free diet do try this out.  I am sure you will like this.
