Vegan Christmas cake is our alcohol-free, dairy-free, egg-less cake of the original version.
It is loaded with healthy nuts like almonds and pistachios.
If you are a teetotaler like us,and also wanna go vegan, this is just the cake for you.
Christmas is a time to make merry and ring in the new year with endless parties.
However, I am not the one for cutting trees and ham and turkeys just to make my party a success!
I had rather go vegan and plant based for this end of year celebration.
Christmas or No Christmas…You can make it anytime of the year and have a happy cheer!
It is my happy cake as it is egg-free and dairy free too.It is good for those who got allergies yet still love their cake.Many people cant eat eggs or dairy and feel a little left out.This one has no reservations.
Finally a celebration of humans includes everyone 🙂
