This vegan cherry almond crumb cake is perfect for picnics and afternoon tea. You can use either fresh pitted cherries or frozen cherries. The vegan vanilla cake pairs so well with the crumble on top and the almonds add extra texture and flavour. It’s such a yummy vegan cake recipe that everyone can enjoy. If you can’t make the drip icing you can simple drizzle melted chocolate over the top for an easier bake.

Cherry Cupcakes with Tofu Custard Cream

By Leave a Comment

Vegan Cherry Cupcakes with Tofu Custard Cream
Cake + Cherries + Custard. It’s the BEST flavour combo. I live with an amazing extended asian family and they aren’t big fans of anything that’s overly sweet (unlike me who would literately eat sugar out of a bag and I have, please don’t judge me). Vegan buttercream can be tricky because we don’t use eggs and sometimes our buttercream can be too sweet. SO I used tofu as an egg replacer and IT WORKS!!! And it DOESN’T taste like tofu. It has a fab creamy texture followed by the powdery taste of vanilla custard. It’s delicious!  [Read more…] about Cherry Cupcakes with Tofu Custard Cream

Vegan White Chocolate Mud Cake

By 18 Comments

Vegan White Chocolate Mud Cake

After making the dark chocolate mud cake, I wanted to make it white chocolate. White chocolate is a little hard with vegan recipes but this one is fabulous! Keep in mind this is very dense cake as it’s in the same style as a traditional mud cake.

NOTES ABOUT THIS CAKE * This is a very dense cake due to the white chocolate, if you leave it in the fridge it will become hard and heavy so not ideal if you want to stack a tall cake. I would advise bringing to room temp before you stack this cake, or stack once cake has completely cooled straight after baking. * This cake also works really well with ganache * This is a great caving cake as it doesn’t crumb too much
