This recipe is vegan as written. It is considered a white cake, but usually does not turn out looking “white.” It can also be altered to nearly any flavor by changing the liquid. It could even be made into a chocolate cake by adding 1 cup cocoa powder (and reducing flour by 1/2 cup) although I have never tried this. I have used this cake several times for wedding cakes and it its quite stable. It is a moist cake that is easy to work with and decorate. Flax seeds can be ground in a blender or clean coffee grinder.
