6 tbsp water

For the dough

1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
1 cup granulated sugar
Chef's tip
Use the same volume. Baking behavior varies by blend: some brown faster or stay softer, while others brown less. Follow the package's baking guidance and start checking a few minutes early.
⅓ cup vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp milk

For rolling

½ cup powdered sugar
Chef's tip
Follow the package's conversion to powdered sugar. In frosting or glaze, add liquid gradually - replacements can absorb it differently.

Instructions

1
Stir together the ground flaxseed and water in a small bowl until combined, then set aside for 5 minutes until the mixture thickens to a gel-like consistency.
2
Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl until evenly combined.
