Preheat the oven to 350F/180C (160C Fan).
Generously grease 9” x 13” rectangular cake pan or two 9” round pans or line cupcake pans with 24 cupcake wrappers.
In small bowl, mix ground flaxseed with water and set aside while mixing the other ingredients.
Place butter/margarine/shortening and sugar in bowl of mixer with paddle attachment (or in a large mixing bowl and mix by hand). Beat well until light and fluffy.
Add cake mix, vanilla and milk (or milk substitute) to bowl. Mix well.
Add Flaxseed/water mixture. Mix until smooth. Scrape sides and bottom of mixing bowl with a spatula. Mix again for approximately 3 minutes.
