Throw in a splash of lemon and a pretty purple glaze, and you'll have yourself one special, flavorful cake that isn't too bad on the eyes either. I hope you find yourself as as enchanted as we are with this bake!

    💭 FAQ and Top Tips

    Cake Sizes

    This batter can be transformed into: 1 bundt-style cake, 2 regular layer cakes or approximately 30 mini-cakes. Times can be found in the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

    Can I use regular eggs instead of flax eggs?

    Yes! To use regular eggs: use 4 eggs, omit the flaxseed and use 3/4 cup water instead of 1 1/2 cups.

    Can I use butter instead of oil?

    Yes! If you are not on a dairy-free diet, feel free to swap out the oil for melted butter instead.

    Psyllium Husk

    You can omit psyllium husk if you do not have it on hand or do not like. I like the texture (and health benefits) it lends to baked goods. It adds some holding power as well as some added light fluffiness to the batter. But it can be omitted for a still-tasty cake!

    How well does this cake store? How do I store it?

    This cakes keeps well lightly covered at room temperature overnight, or about 24 hours. Any longer and I recommend storing in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week. Serve cold or let sit at room temperature before serving.

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease cake pan(s) and optionally sprinkle with flour, set aside.
    • In a large mixing bowl combine flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix well.

    • When the cake(s) is done, gently flip onto a cooling rack and allow to cool completely.
    • When the cake(s) is cool, drizzle with the glaze. Allow the glaze to harden for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
