Vegan Cake Recipes

Vegan diet is healthy and nutritional that contains less fats and high amounts of fibers. It includes plant-based foods such as legumes, seeds, fruits, whole grains, nuts, and vegetables. Milk can be replaced by rice milk or soy milk in a vegan diet. Vegan cakes are ideal for people who are allergic to milk or eggs.

Ingredients:

• 3 cups flour
• ¾ cup raspberry preserves
• ¾ cup string brewed coffee or espresso
• ¼ cup oil
• ½ cup cocoa
• 2 tsp. baking soda

Preparation:

In a large mixing bowl, mix the flour, cocoa, sugar, and baking soda together. Add in the vanilla extract, oil, and the vinegar dissolved in water, along with the raspberry preserves and coffee.

• ¾ cup evaporated cane juice (organic sugar)
• 1 tsp. raspberry vinegar (optional)
• ¼ tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract or ½ tsp. almond extract

Preparation:

Preheat the oven to 350 °F. Place the cocoa, flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a medium-sized mixing bowl, and whisk together. Pour the oil, vanilla extract, soy milk, and vinegar into the flour mixture.

Mix the wet and dry ingredients together, until the mixture turns smooth. Then, pour the batter into a baking pan, sprayed with a nonstick cooking spray. Bake at 350 °F for about 25-30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350 °F. Mix all the dry ingredients well, and then add the oil and carrots to this dry mix, along with the orange juice; mix well. Add in the raisins and nuts. Grease a round cake pan with oil or cooking spray, and pour the batter into it. Bake for about 45 minutes in the preheated oven. Let it cool completely.

Beat the margarine and cream cheese together. Mix the powdered sugar and vanilla extract together, and add in the margarine and cheese mixture to this. Fill it into a plastic zip lock bag. When the cake completely cools down, cut the zip lock bag at the bottom corner and drizzle the creamy frosting over the top of the cake.
