Rich, delicious and most importantly, super easy to make, this vegan chocolate cake is a long time reader favorite. In fact, it's been shared 6.700 times! (Thanks you guys.) This vegan carrot cake is my latest plant-based cake creation - and I'm in love with it. It's rich, flavorful, and topped with a decadent maple cream cheese frosting. And it's gluten-free too! This caramel cheesecake Snickers cake has all the good things a Snickers bar has: caramel, peanuts and chocolate. It's vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and egg-free. But full of deliciousness. This noteworthy double chocolate beetroot cake is out of this world. Beets are naturally sweet and surprisingly, they pair really well with chocolate. This is a delicious way to sneak a whole bunch of nutrition into an indulgent dessert. Pears and chocolate are a perfect match! The sweet, juicy pears combine with the rich dark chocolate, and make this vegan cake irresistible. I'm a sucked for Chai Spice anything. So this vegan cake has my name all over it. It's a pumpkin layer cake packed with chai spices and a thin layer of pumpkin cashew filling. All topped off with creamy dairy-free cinnamon buttercream frosting. Heaven! I love frozen desserts - especially in the hot Florida summers. This vegan ice cream cake is layered with strawberry-lemonade flavors, and perfect for a summertime treat. Who doesn't love red velvet cake? This one is topped with a "marshmallow" cloud icing, made with aquafaba instead of egg whites to keep it vegan-friendly. You know I love aquafaba - it's the secret ingredient in my own vegan puff pastry. This simple vegan cake has a subtle Earl Grey fragrance & fa buttery lemon frosting. I've been meaning to vegan-ize my own Blueberry Earl Grey cake for a while, but I will just have to eat this one in the meantime! Ah - polenta! One of my favorite Italian treats. I've been making polenta bites for as long as I can remember, but never thought to make a cake from it. I'm loving this orange and rose polenta cake. Yum! Did you know olive oil is a fantastic ingredient for baking. It keeps everything super moist and is actually my secret ingredient in these brownies. It's also amazing in this vegan cake - an upside down olive oil, cardamom and blood orange polenta cake. Tastes delicious - and it's gorgeous too! Cheesecake! Yes, please. This Vegan Caramel Cheesecake is drizzled with the most amazing salted caramel sauce. The cheesecake layer is made from cashews that have soaked overnight, making it unbelievably creamy and completely decadent. This raw vegan cake is so unique and completely delicious. It's a mango cheesecake with a coconut center, macadamia crust and mango topping. And it's completely vegan and gluten-free. This vegan cake is loaded with zingy lemon flavor and drizzled with a delicious lemon icing. If you really want to impress your guests, don't skip the sugar paper flowers on top! This one step vegan cake is packed with intense ginger flavor - one of my favorite flavors in the world! And it's an easy one-bowl recipe too. I love scones but they can be a lot of trouble, so I really love this giant scone-inspired vegan cake. So much easier to make, and delicious too. This unique vegan cake is inspired by traditional Middle Eastern turmeric cake. It's crazy delicious, and it's a simple one-bowl recipe, which I always love. This perfectly moist Orange Almond Cake is tasty, refreshing, and topped with an indulgent dairy-free cream cheese frosting. I dare you not to eat seconds! This might be the prettiest vegan cake I've ever seen. It's filled with a vegan mango curd, passion fruit frosting and topped with a gorgeous mango ‘rose’. It's almost too pretty to eat. Almost. Ok, I'll eat it. This adorable layer cake is bursting with raspberry cream, and topped off with fresh berries. You'll never believe it's 100% vegan. It's hard to beat a classic lemon tart. This vegan version doesn't disappoint. It's tangy, delicious, and totally gorgeous too. This mango semolina cake is moist, aromatic, and loaded with mango flavor. Plus, it's completely vegan and super easy to prepare! a Have you made a mug cake yet? If not, you need to jump on this bandwagon. It's all the amazing things about cake - but without any of the hassle. This Vegan Molten Chocolate mug cake is ready in just 2 minutes. Amazing.

The sweet, lightly crunchy base is made of blended dates and almonds, and the blueberry-vanilla filling is irresistible.My Picks - The Best Vegan Cakes
