Ingredients

10 servings

For the flax eggs

3 tbsp ground flaxseed
Ingredient note
A serving of up to about 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed is low in FODMAPs. This recipe contains only about 1/4 tablespoon per serving, making it likely fine for most people. If you prefer to always avoid ground flaxseed, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
9 tbsp water

For the cake

1 cup vegan butter, softened
1 cup organic cane sugar
1 ½ tsp almond extract
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
Chef's tip
Choose a gluten-free baking blend labeled 1:1 or cup-for-cup and use the same amount. Almond and coconut flour won't work the same way.
½ cup almond flour
Ingredient note
Almond flour only becomes a problem on a low FODMAP diet in larger amounts; this recipe uses only about 2 1/2 teaspoons per serving, so it is likely Low FODMAP. If you prefer to always avoid almond flour, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
1 ½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
¾ cup plant-based milk

For the glaze

1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
2–3 tbsp plant-based milk
¼ tsp almond extract

For serving

2 tbsp sliced almonds (optional)
Ingredient note
Almonds only become a problem on a low FODMAP diet in larger amounts; this recipe uses only about 2/3 teaspoon per serving, so it is likely Low FODMAP. If you prefer to always avoid almonds, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
