CHRISTMAS BUNDT CAKE (V, GF)

FacebookTweetPinLinkedInPrint

Christmas bundt cake (v, gf)Collaboration with Kaslink AITO. Christmas bundt cake (v,gf) is one of the best cakes to bake for Christmas. It’s vegan, gluten-free, and yummy for everyone! It can be baked a few days in advance, because it gets better when the flavors get more intense. To make this cake gluten-free, I’m using gluten-free AITO oat drink and gluten-free flours.

Christmas bundt cake essentials

I’ve always been a big fan of bundt cakes, especially the gingerbread spiced ones like this Christmas bundt. We have a traditional “buttermilk cake” in Finland similar to gingerbread cake. My grandma used to bake this buttermilk cake all the time (when we finished one cake she started baking another one 🙂 ). Oh the smell in her kitchen was absolutely heavenly!

Vegan buttermilk

The secret to my grandma’s cake was of course buttermilk, a thick sour dairy drink. I’m so glad making vegan buttermilk is not a complicated task. You just need a very good thick plant-based milk and apple cider vinegar. I always use AITO gluten-free oat drink, because it tastes really delicious, mildly sweet and it’s thicker than most plant milks. It’s perfect in cakes, pancakes, crepes, and actually all kinds of baked goods.

Christmas bundt cake (v, gf)Lots of spices

The more the merrier 🙂 I love high-quality Ceylon cinnamon and also ground (green) cardamom, which is a popular spice here in Finland (cardamom buns!). We also have a very yummy gingerbread spice mix which I love to use every day this time of year. It contains cinnamon, cardamom, ground ginger and ground cloves in a perfect ratio.

Festive glaze

To make a festive glaze, I used both spirulina and matcha powder, just a tiny bit to make this pastel green color. I’ve also made a pink glaze using berry powder and berries and a yellow one using turmeric. This cake would look pretty with just powdered sugar sprinkled on top, and some berries and green leaves (rosemary or mint) for a holiday look.

This is a mix-in-one-bowl cake recipe, which doesn’t require a lot of active time in the kitchen. I recommend baking this cake two days before Christmas, keeping it well covered in the fridge and taking it out about 20 minutes prior to serving. You can make the glaze right before serving or make it beforehand and let it freeze in the fridge.

Happy holiday baking from the forest!
