Looking for the best vegan cake recipes? On this page you can find all your favorite vegan cakes made without eggs, milk, or butter. These easy vegan cake recipes are made from simple ingredients you already have at home!

Usually cakes must be made with animal-derived ingredients such as eggs, milk, buttermilk, cream, butter, cream cheese – the list goes on.

The Best Vegan Cake Recipes

I’ve been baking cakes for a long time, so when I decided to go vegan I knew I’d need to come up with some ways to make cake vegan at home.

Here are my favorite vegan cakes recipes.

Vegan Cake Recipes – Chocolate

My vegan chocolate cake recipe is tantalizingly dark, with a fluffy cocoa frosting. It’s the best vegan chocolate cake recipe you’ll ever find, I promise!

Vegan Cake Recipes – Vanilla

This vegan vanilla cake recipe is light and fluffy, not dense and chewy like many vegan cake recipes you’ll find online turn out! It’s so soft, almost like a vegan angel food cake.

Vegan Cake Recipes – Banana

I often make this vegan banana bread recipe out of over-ripe bananas that no one got around to eating. It’s adapted from the traditional prize-winning banana bread my mother made growing up!

Vegan Cake Recipes – Red Velvet

Finding a good vegan red velvet cake recipe isn’t easy when you wish to avoid artificial food colorings. For this one I use raw beet and raspberry to make a bright red color.

Vegan Carrot Cake Recipes

I make this vegan icebox cake recipe every year for the 4th of July. It’s really easy to put together and fun to get the kids involved adding layers of vegan whipped cream, berries, and graham crackers!
