Pre-heat your oven to 350 F. Prep a 9 inch cake pan - if you don’t have silicon very lightly grease a regular cake pan.
In a medium bowl combine the flax with 3 tbsp of water, stir and let stand for about 10 minutes.
In a large bowl sift your flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, sea salt, and coconut sugar. Mix it together until it’s all combined. Add your applesauce, extracts, and lastly the flax mixture. Stir until just combined.
Pour into your cake pan, sprinkle with the almonds and chocolate chips and lightly press them into the cake.
Bake for 20 minutes and check with a toothpick to see if it’s ready and comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 30 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Slice and serve. Goes crazy well with a scoop of plant-based ice cream.
