Who does not love such a cake combined with deep caramel flavor and gentle crumb texture? It may be a part of a nice dessert when special celebrations or moments to fulfill sweet indulgences in a day take place. Then what if these cravings are offered to you but with no such guilty feeling at all and traditional heavy ingredients at play? Do not worry—the good news: vegan cakes arrive as light for everyone embracing such a plant-based diet.
One of the latest trends to take over dessert tables is the vegan Biscoff cake, which boasts a rich spiced biscuit taste and airy texture. Not only is it free from dairy and eggs, but it also lets you experience the same luxurious flavors you'd expect from a classic Biscoff cake. Whether you’re a vegan or just looking to experiment with healthier baking alternatives, this recipe will not only meet your taste expectations but exceed them. Let’s dive into this simple and scrumptious vegan Biscoff cake recipe, and discover how easy it is to make it a part of your next celebration or cozy afternoon snack.
Ingredients:
Method:
If you want gluten-free, substitute the all-purpose flour for a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. Whichever flour you opt for, ensure its structure is well formed so the cake's texture remains light.
For almond milk, you can use any plant-based milk. Oat milk, soy milk, or coconut milk can give it a little different flavor; however, they complement the Biscoff spread stunningly.
In healthier terms, instead of using brown sugar, consider the options below or any others similar in caramel or sweet flavour for which the product has its excellence, paired particularly well with Biscoff.
When in the mood to get some subtle neutral flavor instead, try the coconut oil version, just replaced by using a bit of vegetable or olive oil that work good not letting dry down.
Instead of using apple cider vinegar, lemon juice does the perfect work of activating the baking soda so that it makes the cake rise and fluff.
The difficulty in vegan cakes is that they lack eggs, but this recipe uses apple cider vinegar for the chemical reaction that is necessary to leaven the batter. Also, you can use a flax egg as an alternative (1 tbsp ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tbsp water).
You know, for those of you seeking lighter frosting, do whip some coconut cream together with a bit of powdered sugar and a teaspoon or two of vanilla extract, all dairy-free! That makes this most scrumptious fluffy frosting so nicely suited with the cake, as in spices.
Switch it up using speculoos-style cookies by replacing Biscoff spread and add nutty goodness using peanut butter! Check if your Biscoff is vegan-friendly too!
Add extra texture with chopped pecans, walnuts, or pumpkin seeds into the batter of this cake. Such will give taste as well as look more appetizing.
Whereas a sprinkling of crushed Biscoff biscuits gives such a perfect garnish to it, it may be alternately accompanied with chopped dates, dried fruits, or even with cinnamon powder, thereby adding an additional texture to this cake while layering multiple layers of flavor complementing its spicy nature so aptly.
