How to Prepare Mango Cardamom Cake [Vegan]

Preheat oven to 350°F, and butter a square cake pan or your preferred baking pan.
Mix ground flax seed and water in a small cup or bowl, set aside and let mixture thicken for at least 5 minutes.
Cream butter in a mixing bowl until pale, add sugar, and cream again until mixture is light and fluffy.
Add flax mixture and mango puree, beat to combine then mix in almond milk mixture, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
In another bowl, combine flour, cardamom, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Combine the wet ingredients (mango and almond milk mixture) with the flour mixture, and mix to combine (do not overmix!)
Add lemon zest and gently fold mango pieces into the batter.
Pour batter into the prepared pan, and bake until top is brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 45-50 minutes.
Cool cake in pan on a wire rack for 5-10 minutes, remove from pan and allow cake to cool completely before serving.
