Instructions
Before you start: Make your flax eggs and set aside to thicken.
Preheat oven to 350F.
To a bowl combine cake flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and all spice. Mix and set aside.
To a stand mixer add vegan butter and granulated sugar, beat on medium until light and fluffy – about 5-7 minutes.
Turn the mixer to low and slowly drizzle in the flax eggs and beat for another 1-2 minutes. Keeping the mixer on low beat in butternut squash puree one spoonful at a time. Turn off the stand mixer.
Add non-dairy milk to a bowl and combine with vanilla extract and maple extract. Set aside.
To the stand mixer alternate adding in dry ingredients and the milk mixture a third at a time, mixing in between each add-in.
Brush a bundt pan with neutral flavoured oil to keep the cake from sticking. Scoop the batter into the greased bundt pan and level off the top with a spatula.
Bake in preheated oven to 60-65 minutes or until fully cooked all the way through. Remove from the oven and turn out the bundt cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cake cools make the glaze by combining icing sugar, maple syrup, and maple extract until smooth.
Once the cake has cooled, pour over the glaze on the bundt cake and serve.
