Are you going to bake a vegan birthday cake for a family member or friend ?
Or maybe you’re planning a birthday party for him or her?
Vegan birthday cake recipes are not necessarily very complicated to make.
Here are some great ideas of vegan substitutes for animal products that you may already have in your kitchen, and a simple and absolutely delicious cake recipe with vegan ingredients that can be found easily.
There are several ways you can replace all the animal based products in the diet.
For example there are really a lot of ways you can replace eggs in the cake.
Besides the commercially manufactured egg replacers like Ener-G, there are natural ways to replace eggs in the cake and you may make a traditional cake using these ingredients.
Pureed tofu may replace an egg especially since it is very rich in proteins.
Other ingredients may include vinegar, agar powder, flax seeds, potato starch or mashed potatoes, pumpkin or squash, some apple sauce or even bananas.
These products have an ability to bond together the batter and make for a really smooth batter for cake baking.
There is no special reason why milk is used in baking, it is just a taste enhancer and it also softens the really sharp smell of eggs.
It can be replaced in vegan birthday cake with water or soy milk if one is looking to bake a rich cake.
When the batter is put together, it is really smooth and without the baked products it bakes in a shorter time of perhaps twenty to thirty minutes.
