Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Add flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, oats and optional cinnamon to a large mixing bowl. Toss a bit.
In a small dish, combine the water and flax seeds. Stir briskly and let sit for about 2-4 minutes.
Add the water/flax mixture, orange juice, applesauce, vegan butter, salt, extract and soy milk. Tip: try to make sure these ingredients are either room temperature or slightly warmed. I used room temperature oranges to fresh squeeze - and room temp applesauce. This will help your batter blend more seamlessly - and the vegan butter will stay smooth.
Stir your batter by hand until smooth. Fold in the blueberries and chopped nuts.
Pour your batter into your cake dish - grease and flour the sides before pouring.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 25-30 minutes - or until edges begin to brown a bit.
Remove from oven to cool.
Start your frosting about 20 minutes before you want to frost your cake. Your cake must be cooled when you frost it or the frosting will melt.
Add frosting ingredients to mixing bowl and blend with hand beater mixer until fluffy and smooth.
Add in a splash of room temperature soy milk or coconut milk if needed to thin out the blend.
Place frosting in fridge for just about five minutes before frosting. Any longer and the frosting will get too firm.1
Frost cake and add blueberries on top.
Serve with softened frosting. Store in fridge - but allow frosting to soften a bit before re-serving from fridge.
