Instructions
How to Make Vegan Red Velvet Loaf:
- Prepare the Pan and Preheat: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a metal loaf pan with non-stick spray or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond milk, melted vegan butter, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Add baking powder, baking soda, a pinch of salt, and all-purpose flour to the wet mixture. Stir until a smooth batter forms.
- Create Two Batters: Divide the batter evenly into two separate bowls. In one bowl, mix in the cocoa powder and red food coloring. Add enough food coloring to achieve the desired vibrant red hue.
- Marble the Batter: Alternate spoonfuls of the plain batter and the red batter into the prepared loaf pan to create a marbled effect. Swirl gently with a fork or knife if desired.
- Bake: Bake the loaf in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the loaf to cool completely before frosting.
- Make the Frosting: While the loaf cools, prepare the cream cheese frosting. In a mixing bowl, use a whisk or electric hand mixer to beat together the powdered sugar, melted vegan butter, and softened vegan cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Frost and Serve: Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled loaf. Slice and serve for a delicious treat!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this loaf gluten-free?
Yes! Simply replace the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free 1:1 all purpose flour blend. We love the brand King Arthur!
What can I use instead of red food coloring?
If you prefer natural coloring, beet juice or powdered beetroot are great alternatives. Keep in mind they might slightly alter the flavor.
How should I store the loaf?
Store the loaf in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze unfrosted slices for up to 3 months and thaw as needed.
