Ingredients

12 servings

For the cake

2 tbsp ground flaxseed
6 tbsp water
1 cup non-dairy milk
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 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.
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
1 ½ cups organic cane sugar
½ cup neutral oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp red food coloring

For the frosting

8 oz vegan cream cheese, softened
½ cup vegan butter, softened
3 cups powdered sugar, sifted
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp non-dairy milk

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 9-inch round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
2
In a small bowl, stir together the ground flaxseed and 6 tbsp water. Set aside for 5 minutes until the mixture thickens to a gel.
