1. Vegan Chocolate cake

Many people think a vegan cake might be too dry or crumbly compared to a typical chocolate cake filled with eggs and butter. They’d be wrong. In fact, if you didn’t mention that it’s vegan, people would never know. It’s rich, fluffy, moist and very easy to make. No unusual ingredients. Really quick and easy to make.

3. Vegan Banana Cake

A banana cake is very easy to vegan-ise – just substitute soya yoghurt in place of eggs, and dairy-free margarine in place of butter. Even better, bananas are often a great replacement for eggs as they’re a natural binding agent as well! This cake has a superb texture; there are no weird ingredients and it tastes delicious!

4. Oaty Vegan Apple Cake

As any good apple cake should be, this cake is very moist. It’s an oaty texture sensation, filled with soggy sultanas, topped with crunchy demerara and will be wolfed down with a cuppa!

5. Wholewheat maple cinnamon buns

Whilst not technically a “cake”, these buns are too tasty not to include. Almonds, pecans, dates and bananas all play a part in this daring recipe. With Easter fast approaching, these cinnamon buns are a great way to show off your vegan baking skills.

11. Vegan Toasted Coconut Cake

The flavour compounds in coconut, lactones, are similar to those that give traditional dairy cream its “creaminess”. As such, coconut’s adds richness to almost anything.

12. Vegan Chocolate Yule Log

Light chocolate sponge rolled up with buttercream, chestnut purée stirred throughout,  covered with chocolate buttercream and decorated to look like a snowy log… does it get more festive than that? The magic vegan ingredient ‘aquafaba’ (the liquid drained from a tin of chickpeas) is a replacement for egg whites that works well for this Christmas masterpiece!

16. Vegan lemon cake

Lemon cakes can have either drizzle or icing… or both (if you’re a real citrus lover!). Using both the drizzle and icing makes this a VERY lemony vegan lemon cake, but it might be worth exploring…
