CARDAMOM CAKE WITH CARAMEL FROSTING (GLUTEN-FREE, VEGAN)

FacebookTweetPinLinkedInPrint

Cardamom cake with caramel frosting (gluten-free, vegan)In collaboration with Kaslink AITO. This cardamom cake with caramel frosting (gluten-free, vegan) is ridiculously easy to make and it’s also crazy delicious. The cake melts in your mouth and so does the sweet caramel frosting, which is the best vegan caramel I’ve ever tasted.

While I love baking cardamom buns and I bake them quite often, sometimes I’m too impatient to wait the dough to rise for over an hour. That’s when this convenient cardamom cake comes to the picture:

It’s a mix-in-one-bowl-pour-in-a-pan type of cake with about 20 minutes baking time!

The cake is super easy to make gluten-free using Kaslink AITO Barista oat drink. This oat drink is creamy and thick, perfect with coffee, and also works amazingly in all kinds of baking.

While the cake is in the oven you can mix the vegan caramel ingredients together and let them simmer for a few minutes. I recommend using Barista also in the vegan caramel as it is so creamy!

Holiday season treats

This is a cake I warmly recommend for Thanksgiving and for all the holiday season. It is loved by non-vegans and you can never tell it’s a gluten-free cake (this of course this depends on the flour mix used). To make the cake more suitable for the holiday season, I recommend topping it with gorgeous cranberries, lingonberries or pomegranate arils.

If your cake doesn’t have to be gluten-free, here are two popular festive vegan cakes from the blog, which would also be perfect for the season:

Peanut butter and Jelly vanilla cream cake
