Grease a 7 or 8 inch springform (square or circular). I used a square. Set aside.
Preparing the cake: Make your flax eggs by mixing the flaxseed meal and water. Place in the fridge for 15 minutes to thicken.
After placing the flax eggs in the fridge, preheat your oven to 160C.
Meanwhile, in a medium-sized bowl, combine the sugar, vegan butter, flour, cocoa and salt until combined.
Add in the maple syrup and flax eggs and mix until smooth.
Baking the cake: Pour your cake mixture into the prepared tin and bake in the pre-heated oven for 20 minutes. If you prefer your cake a little drier, try a few more minutes. If you prefer your cake a little runnier, try a few less minutes.
Let your vegan chocolate fudge cake cool, then sift on the powdered sugar if you wish. Serve immediately and enjoy!
