What is A 3 Ingredient Vegan Cake?
A 3 ingredient vegan cake is a cake made using just three main ingredients, without eggs, dairy or other animal products. There are several ways to make one, including using a vegan cake mix with two additional ingredients, making a simple banana based cake, or using a few basic pantry ingredients.
Looking For An Easy And Quick 3 Ingredient Cake?
If you want a really easy and simple recipe you could try my hack using a cake mix. All you need is a vegan cake mix in a box, a can of fizzy drink and a little extra raising agent to help the sponge become fluffy and light. Normally for a boxed cake mix you would need to add egg and milk but by using a fizzy drink and raising agent to create lift you can cut the animal products out. By using different flavours of fizzy drink and cake mix you can create endless varieties of cake.
Other 3 Ingredient Bakes
It is difficult to bake with only 3 ingredients, especially if you are not using egg or milk. However, with just 3 ingredients you can make flapjack. Flapjack is made with oats, dairy free butter and golden syrup. You can use my recipe here and if you really want to stick to just 3 ingredients then leave off the chocolate topping.
You can also make a vegan version of this custard cream bar with just 3 ingredients – 50g unsalted vegan butter, 400g free from custard creams (made into fine crumbs in a food processor) and 400g vegan marshmallows. Just melt together the butter and marshmallow in a pan on a low heat and mix in the custard cream crumbs. Pour out into a tin lined with cling film and allow to set before slicing.
