My Gingerbread Tea Cake is exceptional and its vegan! Bake this treat for a perfect mother/daughter tea party. In my world, gingerbread is great any time of the year. This tea cake is fluffy, sweet, and absolutely delicious.

 

My daughter loves to bake with me and since I’m a vegan baker, we always adapt recipes. She has a cookbook entitled Pink Princess Tea Parties by Barbara Beery with some incredible recipes in it. After much deliberation, we decided upon her gingerbread tea loaves as our first recipe to bake from the book. I then adapted it into my own version which is vegan and absolutely delicious!

Switching the original recipe to be vegan was very simple. I used plant based butter and I used flax seed eggs. That’s it! Flax seed eggs are super easy to make, combining ground flax seeds and water. Make your flax seed eggs at the start of the recipe and set it aside. This way the flax seed eggs have a chance to solidify and they substitute perfectly for eggs. Then enjoy your deliciously fluffy and sweet vegan gingerbread tea cake!
