2. In a small bowl mix the flax seed meal and warm water and let sit for 15 minutes.

3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the Hemp Culinary Oil, sugar, flax meal mixture, oat milk, lemon juice, and vanilla. In a separate bowl, combine the salt, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice and flour. Fold the dry mixture into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix, the cake will come out tough.

4. Pour the prepared batter into loaf pan and bake for about 60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean. Cool the pound cake for 30 minutes on a wire rack. Remove from the pan and let cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.

Slice, serve, and enjoy!
