Top 35 Gorgeous Vegan Cake Recipes

Looking for some truly inspiring healthy cake recipes that are as delicious as they are beautiful? This collection of 35 Gorgeous Vegan Cake Recipes will provide you with recipes for everything from vegan vanilla cake to vegan birthday cake and beyond.

A moist yet delicate bite of fluffy cake with a luscious frosting. Is there anything more delicious? Cakes are special treat recipes that signal it’s time for celebration. Whether it’s a birthday cake, Christmas cake, or even wedding cake, these cakes serve as important traditions for honoring many special meals and occasions. Cake recipes are also ideal for marking seasons, such as the holidays (think pumpkin cakes), spring (orange cakes) and summer (ahh, those strawberry cakes). There are also many cake recipes that call upon lots of healthful ingredients, from beets and carrots to pears and zucchini, creating healthy cake recipes you can feel good about. And vegan baking skills can also include cake baking! With a touch of aquafaba, applesauce, flax seeds, or chia seeds, you can create luscious, light, and fluffy vegan cake recipes. That’s why I asked some of my favorite vegan bloggers to contribute some of their best vegan cake recipes in this collection of 35 Gorgeous Vegan Cake Recipes. You’ll find a wide variety of vegan cakes in this roundup of recipes, including vegan red velvet cake (made with beets!), vegan gluten-free cakes, and vegan coffee cakes. I’m sharing some of my own favorite tried-and-true cake recipes to. Enjoy!
