baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and cloves

flax egg to the mixing bowl and mix in very well. The batter will
be thick.

circle of parchment paper to the base of each cake tin.
6. Divide the batter equally between the cake tins.
7. Place into the oven and bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick
inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
8. Transfer to a wire cooling rack and allow to cool completely
before frosting.
9. Prepare your frosting by adding the powdered sugar, vegan
butter, vanilla and coconut milk to the bowl of an electric mixer.
Starting at slow speed, gradually increase the speed until smooth.
Step 2
If your frosting is too thick, add in coconut milk a drop at a time
until it reaches the right consistency If it is too thin, add in
more
powdered sugar.
10. When your cakes are completely cooled, frost the top of one of the layers. Then add the other layer on top and frost the whole cake.

For vegan pumpkin cake loaf, don't bother making frosting, top raw
dough with pumpkin seeds, and cook in a loaf pan. Bake at 350F for 60 min.
