You value eating as healthily as possible, live vegan, and watch your daily protein intake? Admittedly, that might sound like delicious cakes don’t belong on your menu – but not at all!
Here you’ll find seven vegan cake recipes with ideas for a variety of treats, from fresh and fruity to creamy chocolatey. And the best part: all options are not only absolutely delicious but also provide an extra boost of protein. So why resist?
Apple Cake with Pudding and Extra Protein
Vegan cake recipes like our apple cake with pudding clearly differ in ingredients from traditional baked goods, but not in taste! If you long for the classic flavor of apple, pudding, and streusel, you’ll find exactly that here.
Each piece provides a solid 5 g of protein. Before indulging, prepare the dough, put it in a baking pan, and let it rest while you prepare the apple filling. In steps 3 and 4, you prepare the pudding and arrange your preferred topping: besides classic streusel, there’s also a crunchy alternative made from oats and nuts – definitely try it!
Tip: If you want to enjoy not only vegan but also sugar-free, you can simply sweeten with suitable alternatives. All recipes can be made without sugar and adapted in many ways to your own needs.
Vegan Strawberry Cake Just Like Grandma’s
A life without strawberry cake is possible but pointless: If you share this motto, here’s help: with pudding, cream, or simply plain, depending on your preferences. It’s easy and tastes like grandma’s:
1. Mix the dry ingredients like flour, sugar or sugar alternative, baking powder, cornstarch, and vanilla extract.
2. Then stir in oil and sparkling water and voilà: that’s your dough.
3. Put the dough into a prepared fruit cake pan and directly into the oven.
4. After cooling, pour hot pudding over it.
5. Wait briefly, add fresh strawberries on top, done!
If you want more protein, simply replace part of the flour with protein powder. Vegan vanilla protein always works well for baking vegan cakes. In this case, the strawberry flavor could also add a creative twist.
Irresistible Rhubarb Cake
Strawberry and apple cakes are perfect for celebrations like birthdays – because almost everyone likes these classics. If you want variety, try more unusual vegan cake recipes like our rhubarb cake. Its sweet and sour note makes it irresistible.
Feeling hungry? Then grab a springform pan and fill it with part of the previously mixed cake dough. This part should rest in the fridge first, just like the remaining dough, from which you will finally form the indispensable streusel.
While your cake dough rests, get to work by cleaning and cutting the rhubarb into pieces. Then cook the vegetable in the pan before placing it on the dough in the springform pan. Now just crumble the remaining dough as streusel on top, put everything in the oven, and enjoy the unfolding baking aroma.
Protein cheesecake – creamy and light
Our protein cheesecake knows what vegan cake recipes should do: spoil you with a creamy, juicy explosion of flavor while boosting your protein intake at the same time. No problem for the soft cheesecake.
Only a little patience and time are needed, but then you’ll be rewarded with guilt-free indulgence. Besides the dough you prepare first, the secret lies in the airy filling – not only the secret to the special taste but also to the impressive protein content.
Vegan skyr, cream cheese, soy cream, and vanilla protein powder make it happen. As if the result after baking wasn’t delicious enough, you’ll treat yourself and your guests to a DIY blueberry topping as well.
The best protein brownies
Mini vegan cake recipes are always a good idea and should be ready to hand at any time. With the probably best protein brownies, you can easily succeed even without much baking experience, time, or patience.
-
Soak dates in water for ten minutes – but that’s the most time-consuming step, we promise.
-
Simply throw all the ingredients into a blender and let it do its work until you get a creamy dough.
-
Line the baking pan with parchment paper to save the effort of artfully removing your brownie dough from the pan after baking.
-
Pour the dough into the pan and decorate with choco chips as desired.
-
Bake in the oven for about 30 minutes.
-
Let cool and then cut into typical bites.
Did we mention that one serving provides a full 7 g of protein?
Protein banana bread with chocolate
The protein banana bread with chocolate is just as delicious as it sounds. But it’s also quick and easy to prepare and wonderfully versatile. Enjoy it as a dessert, snack, or even as a bread substitute.
You make the batter from flour, water, flaxseed egg for binding, and one large, very ripe banana for sweetness and special aroma. Just mash the banana with a fork. Did you notice: every ingredient has its job, nothing unnecessary is included.
Bake the batter in a simple loaf pan for about an hour, and your versatile, delicious banana bread with 4 g of protein per serving is ready.
Beginner tip: Always let cool well before slicing, otherwise the slices can become crumbly.
Protein muffins – high in protein and quickly baked
The right muffins for every occasion? You create them from our basic batter for protein muffins. This gives you at least three vegan cake recipes in one: chocolate, lemon, and the classic blueberry. But maybe you want to create a completely new flavor?
The batter is lightly mixed. Buttermilk you make yourself in just a few steps gives it a special aroma. To do this, mix soy milk with lemon juice and let it sit for about ten minutes. You will be surprised how the consistency changes: that’s exactly how it should be.
Finally, simply place 16 muffin cups on a baking sheet, put some batter into each, and into the oven with the little treats. Bake for about 25 minutes, ready to enjoy.
Tip: Add frozen berries or chocolate protein powder and cocoa to the batter after the first mixing. These small variations create a big impact and determine the flavor of your muffins.
