VEGAN BERRY CARAMEL CAKE

FacebookTweetPinLinkedInPrint

Vegan Berry Caramel CakeIt’s cake time! And I created a special one for you: delicious vegan Berry Caramel Cake ♥ This cake is easy to make, it’s oil-free, can easily be made gluten-free as well. The secret to its sweetness is a simple liquid caramel sauce, which is not only yummy on top of cake, it’s a delicious topping for toast or pretty much any sweet food.

Vegan Berry Caramel Cake and other delicious treats

The recipe is from my baking book Herkkuja (Tammi, 2018), which is unfortunately available only in Finnish. My book contains 70 delicious sweet recipes, which are all vegan and most gluten-free. The book is divided into sections such as: breakfast treats, afternoon coffee treats, over the top treats and little sweet snacks.

This vegan berry caramel cake is one of my favorites from the book. It’s moist thanks to plant-based yogurt and the generous drizzle of gooey caramel sauce on top.

As much as I love berries & cream, berries & caramel combo is becoming a favorite this summer♥

Vegan Berry Caramel Cake

Homemade vegan caramel sauce

Vegan caramel sauce is really easy to make and I regularly make it. Either this coconut cream one or a date and nut butter based thicker one. Either way, vegan caramel is just one of those irresistable treats you would no necessarily guess is vegan. It has a dairy-like quality to it as it’s so creamy.

Vegan liquid caramel sauce such as the one on top of this cake takes a bit of time to make, because you need to simmer it on a stove top until it thickens and becomes gooey and caramelly. If you put the liquid caramel in the fridge or freezer after simmering it you have an even thicker sauce.

Midsummer berry cake

With this delicious summer cake, I’m wishing you all a beautiful Midsummer! I’m looking forward to some sauna, swimming in a (cold) lake, walks in the forest and good food. Most likely a lot of cake with berries too 🙂

Love from the forest!
