Cinnamon Cake
This vegan cinnamon cake is moist, fluffy, and so easy to make! What's a cinnamon cake, you ask? It's basically a vanilla cake with cinnamon swirls. Cinnamon cake was also my favorite birthday treat when I was a kid - and this vegan version is even more delicious! Enjoy on it's own or topped with mouthwatering 3-ingredient vegan cream cheese icing!
Ingredients
Cinnamon Cake
- 1 cup almond or oat milk
- ½ cup melted vegan butter
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup maple syrup
- 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cup all purpose flour or gluten free all purpose flour If gluten-free, I recommend King Arthur Measure for Measure. Please don't substitute any other flour such as almond flour, baking flour, etc.

- 4 oz vegan cream cheese
Instructions
Cinnamon Cake Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350
- In a large mixing bowl, mix almond or oat milk, melted butter, vanilla, maple syrup, baking soda, and baking powder together.
- Then, mix in flour. Finally, pour cinnamon on top of the batter and use a knife to swirl it 2 or 3 times. Pour the batter into a 9x5 loaf pan or any other cake pan.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes until the loaf is golden. You will need less time if you bake it in a shallow cake pan.
- While the cake is baking, prepare your vegan cream cheese frosting by using a hand mixer to mix all of the ingredients together.
- Let the cake cool for about 5 or 10 minutes and then spread the frosting over the top. Enjoy!
