Home is where the cake is.
Because I know it's harder to get the fluffy consistency of a normal cake, I found the perfect vegan option for a weekend treat. A very tasty cake, with a perfect consistency, made exclusively from plant based ingredients.
It goes great with a green tea or coffee, during a quiet autumn morning, or as an afternoon snack (for those who still want to follow the morning fruit rule 😉). With only 7 basic ingredients, which almost anyone has at home, you can create a quick and easy dessert.
