Valentine’s Day is upon us. And if you are looking forward to setting a great dinner table for your special one, don’t forget to add a luscious Vegan Red Velvet cake as the dessert. Nothing speaks romance louder than a delicious, fluffy, creamy, and dreamy piece of red velvet cake. Who won’t get excited to see the piece of art at the end of the dinner? It will set the perfect mood to celebrate this great day of love.
We are happy to share this great and romantic recipe. This is so simple to prepare yet so heavenly to devour. And the best part is the recipe is Vegan. So, if you want to win over your loved one’s heart while taking care of his heart, then this recipe is just for you. This egg-less and dairy-free recipe can replace any traditional red velvet cake. The velvety texture, super-moist bites and rich flavour is worth every effort.
Before starting to create this great cake, please make sure to consider these important points. First of all, try to use good quality all-purpose flour. Although you can use whole wheat flour to make the red velvet cake healthier. But all-purpose flour makes the cake much fluffier than the whole wheat flour. As we are not using any egg in the recipe, it is necessary to get the fluffiness. The second thing to be aware of is to use only almond butter for the frosting. Almond butter is very good for the heart and brain. And it creates the smoothest and glossiest frosting for your red velvet cake. To maintain the traditional red velvet cake vibe, I haven’t used any nuts or fruits in the cake mix or frosting.
But if you want to bring a little bit of uniqueness to your valentine’s treat you can add any chopped nut in the cake mix. Or you can also decorate your delicious creation with some fresh strawberries or raspberries. Yum
