Ingredients

9 servings

For the cake

¾ cup vegan butter
1 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 1/8 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.
3 tbsp water
1 cup organic cane sugar
½ cup plant-based milk
2 tsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 ¾ 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.
1 ½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt

For the glaze

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

For serving

flaky sea salt, for finishing (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
2
Stir together the ground flaxseed and 3 tbsp water in a small bowl and set aside for 5 minutes, until the mixture thickens to a gel.
