Gluten-Free Vegan Breakfast Bundt Cake

By Sara McGlothlin

When I was recipe testing for my cookbook, I was eating cake for breakfast every day. Actually, I was eating gluten-free vegan baked goods for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. While I enthusiastically incorporated vegetables and proteins back in to my daily diet after the testing phase came to a close, I still enjoy a baked treat for breakfast every now and then (paired with a nutrient-dense smoothie most likely).

When you upgrade ingredients – specifically the flours and sweeteners – you can create a baked good that is not only delicious, but more nutritious as well. I love a good loaf, but there is something special about baking with a bundt pan. The end result is pretty and fun to decorate! Try your favorite berry and some melted coconut butter as found in this recipe.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Liberally spray a 12-cup Bundt pan with cooking spray.

  • To the bowl with the milk and vinegar mixture, add the flax eggs, applesauce, coconut nectar or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk until creamy.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the flour mixture. While beating on medium speed, incorporate the melted coconut oil, continuing to beat until a batter is formed, increasing the speed as needed.
  • Transfer the batter to the Bundt pan. Bake for40 to 45 minutes until edges are golden brown, a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, and the internal temperature reaches between 200° and 210°F. Allow the cake to completely cool in the pan for about 2 hours.

Notes

Storage: Wrap the cake or individual slices in plastic wrap and store at room temperature for up to 4 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Bring cake to room temperature before serving.
Prep tip: If you don’t have a Bundt pan, you can use a bread loaf pan, but cook time will vary.
Serving tip: Remove the cake by flipping it upside down on a cutting board. Slice sections of desired size.
