Vegan Carrot Cake at grouprecipes.com

Vegan Carrot Cake at grouprecipes.com Carrot cake is a firm favourite of mine, and here's a vegan version that I'm tempted to try out one day when I don't have any eggs. What's more, this recipe is sugar-free as well, using the natural sweetness of dates as a healthier substitute. Personally, I don't like raisins, so I'd leave them out. You, of course, may love them and leave them in! Either way, you should end up with a lovely vegan cake.

Almond and Peach Muffins and parsleysoup.co.uk Muffins are a great favourite of mine, and naturally I particularly love chocolate and blueberry. These peachy muffins would make a delightful change though, and if you really like them you can keep all the ingredients ready in the cupboard for when you next fancy baking them.

It doesn't have to be restricted to Christmas, of course – if you're fond of fruit cake then you can make it at any time of the year. Do note that it shouldn't be made ages in advance as with the traditional version.

Lemon Lime Cake with Icing at instructables.com

Lemon Lime Cake with Icing at instructables.com Finally, here's a delicious lemon-flavoured vegan cake.

The recipe can also be used to make cupcakes, which would be great for serving to friends or having with coffee.

I hope these vegan cake recipes tempt you to have a go at dairy- and egg-free baking – you can still make wonderful cakes without animal ingredients. You don't even have to be vegan to make them; a lot of vegan cake recipes use vegetable oil, so if you're itching to get baking but you don´t have any eggs or butter, you can still find a suitable recipe. Have you ever tried making a vegan cake, and how did it turn out?
