Tips: *To make flax eggs for this recipe use 2 tbsp ground flax with 4 tbsp hot water, mix and let sit for a couple of minutes. Flax eggs work great in cupcakes, but they will be denser than if made with eggs.
​
Use your favourite flour blend or rice flour if you don't have Bob's Red Mill 1:1 Gluten-Free Flour. Just note that not all gluten-free flours are created the same, some flours will work better in cake recipes than others. Bob's Red Mill 1:1 contains xanthan gum. If your flour doesn't contain xanthan gum add 1/4 tsp to the cake batter.
​
You can use coconut oil instead of olive oil and vegetable oil. Your cake will have a chocolate coconut flavour.
