I don’t want a lot for Christmas
There’s just one thing I need….
All I want for Christmas…..is vegan cake!!!!

Christmas is coming and we need cake! Vegan style!
Why should the vegans miss out eh?  We love this recipe as it’s so easy to whip up and as it contains no dairy or eggs, you will pretty much have all the ingredients you need in your cupboard.  This is a easy peasy lemon squeezy bake as it is  made with ready made mincemeat so no fruit steeping needed! The mincemeat even adds its own spices!
Oh yeah! Best cake ever!

  Our cake was baked in a deep cake tin so it did take quite sometime to bake through.  We would recommend you use a tray bake tin to get a quicker cakey bakey finish.  Flora cuisine was used for this recipe but you can also use grape seed oil if you wish.

 A true vegan taste of Christmas!
Enjoy!
