The Best Egg Free Vegan Cake Recipe Ever!
Chefs luxury vanilla cake recipe tastes so good that it could very easily make you question if you need butter, dairy and eggs in a cake ever again.
As well as being an egg free cake recipe this is a dairy free cake recipe a soy free cake recipe a nut free cake recipe and it is fully vegan.
Chefs cake tastes so good that I have had at least three slices to eat and the rest of the family have totally devoured the rest - there is barely a crumb left in sight!
To make the cake Chef boils some apple juice and vanilla pods and adds it to the cake mixture along with fresh white bread crumbs and white spelt flour.
You really must try this recipe using the white spelt flour rather than plain wheat all purpose flour - white spelt flour contains less gluten than wheat and is a lot finer. You can buy white spelt from most independent health food stores or online.
Chefs method of baking my egg free cake recipe produces a very moist fluffy cake that is bliss to sink your teeth into.
Chef covers the cake in white creamy dairy free frosting, you can also decorate with sprinkles and other cake decorations or for a more delicate look you can keep it plain and white.
Jeenas Kitchen cake recipe may be egg,dairy,nut and soy free but it is still a fabulous cake for anybody to eat and great to share with family and friends to prove that you do not always need typical ingredients to enjoy a delicious and beautiful cake recipe.

How to bake a cake that is Egg free, Nut free, Soy free, Dairy free and Vegan
Place white spelt flour, baking powder and bi carb into a large mixing bowl.
Mix very well to evenly distribute the baking powders.
Add sugar and mix.
Remove the vanilla seeds from the pods by carefully slicing the pods down the middle and scraping the seeds from the middle of each vanilla pod.
Pour 200ml of apple juice into a pan with both the vanilla seeds and the vanilla pods.
Bring to the boil then simmer for 5-7 minutes, you should be able to smell the aroma of the vanilla over the apple juice.
Strain the seeds and pods from the apple juice using a sieve and a jug. Some of the vanilla seeds may be present in the apple juice after straining - it is OK and helps the taste.

Pour into a greased and floured round cake tin.
Bake in a hot oven at gas mark 7/220C on the middle shelf for 25-30 minutes.
Do not open the oven for at least 20-25 minutes to help prevent the cake sinking in the middle .
After this time check on the cake, it should be golden in colour and when you gently press in the middle of the cake using your finger it should feel a little wobbly - this is how it is supposed to be.
Turn down the oven to gas mark 5/ 190C for a further 25-30 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean and the centre of the cake feel firm and bouncy to the touch.

Very pretty decorations, and the cake looks so moist and scrummy. Great job, Jeena.

What a beautiful cake! It kind of looks like spice cake on the inside. I bet it tastes terrific. I just love how you come up with alternative recipes! YUM!
Lovely step by step tutorial. The cake looks very moist and delicious.
That cake looks unbelievably moist!! I wish I had a slice right now!
I love how you decorated this, it is too cute! Oh how I love vanilla cake...it is truly addictive.
One of our triplets is allergic to egg whites and his first birthday cake left him screaming in agony all night... this recipe is awesome because it will let us give him cake instead of just watching while the other two are able to eat it! (while he gets something non-cake/egg free). THANK YOU!
What a stunning cake and it looks so moist! I can imagine the vanilla flavour running through mmmm

I've tried about 100 vegan cakes so far, and this is the fluffiest yet! it looks ordinary by texture, but you can feel the difference immediately after you poke it gently :D great job!!! did you come up with this recipe????
Hi Ella,
I'm glad you like my cake recipe, it does not last long in our house when I bake it.
Yes every single recipe on my food recipe blog is created by me and unique to me and my style of cooking unless stated other wise.
Feel free to browse through both of my vegan recipe index pages at the top of the homepage.
Thanks, Jeena.
hi jeena!
i was looking to make a cake for my son's birthday and he is allergic to milk , eggs and peanuts and so he doesnt get to eat any cake. my friend came across your website and i really would love to try out this cake. I want to know if i can substitute all purpose flour for spelt flour and also how big was the cake pan you used. i usually make cakes in 350 F and this comes to almost 430 F, so dont want my cake to burn! :) and your frosting is also excellent! thanks!!
Hi Liz,
I am sure that plain flour will work good in this recipe instead of the white spelt flour.
A 7-8 inch cake tin should work fine.
The cake should only be cooked on a high heat for 25 minutes then turned down and cooked on a lower heat.
I would love to hear how it goes, feel free to email me at jeenaskitchen@gmail.com
Thanks, Jeena.
This recipe looks yummy. I am making a cake for a little boy with allergies to egg and dairy. Wouldn't the bread crumbs have eggs & dairy in them?
Hi Jerri,
The bread crumbs will only contain egg and milk if you purchase a bread that contains them.
Check the packaging to find a bread that is suitable.
If you are in the UK you should not have a problem because many of the top brands of bread do not contain milk or eggs.
Hi - this looks so beautiful, but I am very allergic to apples. Would this work with, for example, pineapple juice? Or orange? Thanks!
Hi Pat,
I think other fruit juices will work the same in this recipe. Just bare in mind that which ever juice you use will flavor the cake differently.
I would love to hear how it tastes using a different fruit juice?
Thanks.
Hi Chef Jeenas,
I just made your cake and it looks beautiful (haven't tasted it yet) but it is quite small, could I double the batch and use a larger cake tin? Will it still raise evenly?
Thanks so much!
Rose
