Cakes, traybakes, & fridge bakes

Our collection of vegan, plant-based cake and traybake recipes are inspired by old-fashioned, old-school, vintage, retro and traditional classics. These aren't just your ordinary cakes; each recipe is a nod to the family bakers of yesteryears, ensuring that you enjoy a tasty slice of history with every bite.

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 a great choice for anyone - be it vegans, vegetarians, flexitarians, or those with egg and dairy allergies.

To get started do try our old-fashioned seed cake which is a tasty throwback to the Victorian era! So is perfect for Downton Abbey fans! It's also a particular favourite with hobbits!
