Vegan cake ideas

[AnneLovesGilbert]

I need a bit if a showstopper for my mum for this weekend, any recipes you love and wouldn’t mind sharing? Ideally ones without too many unusual ingredients.

My friend is vegan....she always makes a delicious biscoff cake for various occasions.....of course you might not like biscoff😁

I've never really made what you'd call a showstopper, but for what it's worth here's my contribution! First some tried and tested (by me) birthday cake recipes that you could definitely make fancier with the decoration:

realfood.tesco.com/recipes/vegan-victoria-sponge.html (don't be put off by the source - look at the reviews!)

veggiedesserts.com/best-vegan-chocolate-cake/

www.nigella.com/recipes/dark-and-sumptuous-chocolate-cake

And I found this page, which has some very beautiful looking cakes on it, if you really want to go all out. Particularly like the look of the lemon curd layer cake or the caramel mocha cake:

Fab ideas, thank you! By showstopper I was just being daft, I meant something a bit special rather than a loaf cake or biscuits, which I already do vegan versions of. @AlmightyBob some of those look incredible, really appreciate it.

This is the best vegan chocolate cake I’ve found www.carnation.co.uk/recipes/vegan-chocolate-fudge-cake Most of the larger supermarkets now sell vegan condensed milk. I decorate it with freeze-dried raspberries. The cake is quite sweet so if you want something richer, then I’d make Nigella’s ‘dark and sumptuous’ chocolate cake’.

Chocolate cupcakes with a lava twist

6tbsp melted coconut oil
100g plain flour
150g soft brown sugar
20g + cocoa powder (to taste)
1 TSP baking powder
100g chocolate chips (or squares for lava cake)
300ml plant based milk
Optional icing sugar for glance

Mix all dry ingredients. Add coconut oil and milk and stir. Add chocolate chips.

Or place in cake cases then press one chocolate square into each cupcake mix.

Bake GM 5 for 18 minutes approximately.

Eat immediately for lava cake gooey loveliness or leave to set and ice for chocolate 'block' yumminess.
