Chocolate Cake
Anyone who’ll have a slice of this fudgy vegan bake would never guess that it is actually dairy-free.

Frosting: Mashed avocado flesh, dairy-free sunflower spread, dairy-free chocolate, vanilla extract, icing sugar, unsweetened soya milk, cocoa powder, and vegan sprinkles
Cupcakes
For your morning snack or perhaps afternoon tea, cupcakes are the best. Start by stirring the milk and vinegar. Give a few minutes for the mixture to thicken.
Combine the butter, sugar, vanilla, milk, flour, baking powder, and salt. Fill each cupcake case with the mixture, two-thirds full. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes.
For the buttercream, combine the butter, vanilla, and icing sugar until creamy. Use food coloring.
Once the cupcakes are cool enough, top with the buttercream.
Lemon Cake
Who doesn’t love lemon cakes? They are so delicious and fairly easy to make. With vegetable oil, self-raising flour, golden caster sugar, baking powder, lemon zest and juice, you can create the perfect vegan lemon cake.
Carrot Cake
Ahhh another favorite…carrot cake!
To create this masterpiece, start making the icing first. Mix the coconut cream with hot water and lemon juice. Once smooth, add the cashew butter, icing sugar, and oat milk. Refrigerate.
Next up, make the cake. Combine the oil, sugar, vanilla, milk, flour, baking powder, baking soda, orange zest, and spices. For the finale, add the carrots and nuts. Bake for up to 30 minutes.
Spread the icing and top with nuts as well as cinnamon.
Shortbread
These goodies are another perfect match for your tea. And trust me, they’d taste really good with nut butter. Olive oil gives them the buttery flavor while cornflour is responsible for their crumbliness.
For this baking recipe, you’d need plain flour, caster sugar, cornflour, vanilla extract, and olive oil.
