Indulge in the magic of winter with this vegan gingerbread cake recipe, a delightful twist on a classic holiday treat.

Combining ground flaxseed with hot water, whisk until a smooth consistency is achieved.
Allow the mixture to stand undisturbed for at least five minutes to enable the ingredients to thicken into a smooth, consistent paste.
Combining the flour, baking soda, spices, salt, and pepper, set this mixture aside for later use.
Cream the vegan butter with the brown sugar for approximately 4-5 minutes, or until a light and airy texture is achieved.
Combining the molasses with the creamed butter mixture, I thoroughly blend, ensuring a smooth consistency before scraping the sides of the bowl to ensure no residue remains. Next, I incorporate the flax paste and vanilla extract, mixing until they’re evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
While blending on low speed, gradually add the sifted flour mixture and continue mixing until it is fully incorporated and uniform in texture.
The entire dough is then poured out onto a substantial sheet of plastic wrap.
Tightly envelop the dough within your palms and gently shape it into a uniform disc.
Allow the dough to refrigerate for a minimum of three hours, ideally allowing it to chill overnight before rolling out.
After removing it from the refrigerator, the dough requires a thorough re-rolling to restore its optimal consistency and texture.
Combine the mixture thoroughly, working it into a cohesive substance, before placing it onto a lightly dusted work surface to be reworked into a smooth, supple consistency through gentle manipulation of the dough.
Arrange the shapes on a parchment-lined baking sheet with precision.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake for 12-18 minutes, or until a light golden brown is achieved.

Combine ground flaxseed with hot water, whisking until smooth.
Let it stand for at least five minutes to thicken into a smooth paste.
Meanwhile, whip the softened vegan butter into a frenzy with the light brown sugar at a medium-high velocity for approximately 3 to 5 minutes, or until it attains an airy, creamy consistency.
Periodically scrape down the sides of the bowl to maintain a uniform consistency during the mixing process.
Combine the dry ingredients – ranging from the baking powder to the cocoa powder – and set aside.
As the molasses dissolves into the scalding hot water, a rich aroma wafts through the air before the baking soda is carefully introduced to the mixture. As the baking soda starts to react, a gentle effervescence will begin to emerge. Stir to combine.
Combine the flax paste with the creaming vegan butter and sugar mixture, blending thoroughly.
Combine one-third of the total dry ingredients, ensuring a thorough incorporation.
While continuously mixing on a low setting, gradually pour in half of the molasses-water blend.
Scrape the bowl’s bottom and sides frequently to ensure thorough mixing and minimize waste.
With another one-third portion of the dry mixture, the residual liquid components, and a final incorporation of dry elements.
Pour the batter into prepared pans and bake immediately at 350°F (preheated) for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until the muffins spring back when lightly pressed in the centre.
Once cooled in the pan, carefully remove the cake layers and transfer them to a wire rack to complete their cooling process, allowing you to focus on preparing the cream cheese icing.

Blend smooth cream cheese and butter using a paddle attachment.
Gently fold in sifted confectioners’ sugar, blending on a low speed just until combined.
Extract the warm, fluffy cake, then top with a rich, creamy layer of optional vegan buttercream icing?
Mix smooth.
