Vegan Gingerbread Bundt Cake with Cream Cheese Icing
Hello & Happy Wednesday
When it comes to Christmas time, I’m all about the gingerbread! For years I was never a fan, but there is something about the pairing with cream cheese that just draws me in. One of my favorite concepts is bundt cakes. it’s basically a cake mold making the process of creating something gorgeous just seamless!
Rather than creating a cake with layers and icing it etc etc, you can simply throw into a mold and poof, you have a gorgeous cake! I’m so obsessed with them, I can’t even recall the last time I made a traditional cake, because this method is just full proof.
What’s fab about this cake, is everything! It’s quick, easy, packs a lot of vegan butter, but you need to create moisture throughout the cake, is packed with spices, molasses, perf for entertaining, is aethestically gorgeous, perf for Christmas, and the cream cheese icing just puts it over the top!!
If you love all things gingerbread or are craving an effortless Christmas dessert, you’re going to love this vegan Gingerbread bundt Cake with cream cheese icing!!

Could this be made with spelt or oat flour? And would a coconut oil work as a sub for the butter?
Hi Georgia, I’ve only tested this recipe with traditional flour so I can’t guarantee a good result. You could use coconut oil in place of the vegan butter.
