Cakes, traybakes, & fridge bakes

Our collection of vegan cake and traybake recipes are inspired by old-school, vintage, retro, traditional recipes.

Old-fashioned cakes often didn't rely on eggs, butter, or dairy, making them incredibly adaptable for modern-day vegan diets. This makes these vegan adaptations not only delicious but also quite authentic to the original versions. Egg-free, butter-free, and dairy-free cakes are perfect for anyone and everyone be it vegans, vegetarians, flexitarians, or those with egg and dairy allergies. All our recipes are prepared with every-day ingredients and aim to stay close to the original recipe flavour.
