Vegan Christmas Cake

by Edward Daniel

Vegan Christmas Cake made with Cherries and Pears came about because I was asked to undertaken more desserts and cakes following a recent survey. What I love is the Cherries and Pears give this dish a really fruity decadence. This is a special cake I bake for Christmas and is a great way to celebrate over the holidays.

What to do next

Tag me on @ethiveganquantum on Instagram to show me what you’ve made and let me know you’re happy for me to share.

My recipes are featured in vegan speciality publications: Nourished, Vegan Life, Plant Based and Vegan, Food and Living.

Order my first self-published book, “Essence: The Beginner’s Guide to Veganism” part of the three-part Circle of Food series. My second book “Presence: The Ascending Vegan” – which explores how to maintain a vegan practice is out in 2027 – I have compiled all the chapters including recipes.

Going strong since 2013.

Love.
