Vegan Milk and Cereal Cake
Yes, you heard me correctly. Vegan Milk and Cereal Cake. I had this crazy idea to make a cake where the batter was filled with cereal and instead of frosting, I would use coconut milk whipped cream to give you the flavors of eating milk and cereal in cake form. Would this work? Does this work? Damn right it does. Not only does this work, it is amazing. You can use whatever kind of cereal you want, just make sure it is vegan. …
Vegan Gooey Chocolate Merlot Pudding Cake
Valentine’s day is right around the corner, and have I got the perfect dessert for you! This recipe is 7 ingredients, takes about 15-20 minutes, and makes just the right amount for two little cakes. My vegan gooey chocolate Merlot pudding cakes are so sexy, so easy, and I promise, one of the best things you will ever eat! Also, you can always just make one cake if you are riding solo (I’ve been there)!
These ooey gooey little cakes are whipped up really quickly, baked in two ramekins, and ready so fast for your Valentine’s dessert, or really any time! The combination of rich dark chocolate and red wine is so luscious, and perfect for date night. I immediately fell in love with this dessert, and pssst…I almost ate both cakes all by myself and had to talk myself into sharing….don’t tell anyone!
What is more romantic than chocolate and red wine, probably nothing. This rich and decadent dessert, is creamy and pudding like in the center, and has a firm and cake like outside. It is served piping hot, and would be beautiful with a bit of whipped coconut cream or vegan vanilla ice cream! This recipe is pretty much impossible to mess up, and there are so many options for how to serve them!
Do you like to go out for Valentine’s day? Or are you like us, and like to skip the crowds and make something special at home? This will definitely be our dessert for this year. I will also be sharing our appetizer and entrée selection, so stayed tuned, but ya know, I like dessert first!
Pudding cake might sound a little strange, but trust me, you really can’t go wrong with warm gooey cake. It is so friggin’ good. So, whether it be self love or sharing the love, this cake will make you feel all warm and tingly inside. Give it a try!

Gooey pudding like inside, and cake like outside, this chocolate Merlot pudding cake for two is perfection!
Prep Time
10 min
Cook Time
10 min
Total Time
20 min
Ingredients
- 4 oz. Dark chocolate, vegan
- 2 Tbsp. Vegan butter, I use Earth Balance
- 2 Tbsp. Sugar
- 4 Tbsp. Flax meal
- 6 Tbsp. Water
- 2 Tbsp. Red wine, Merlot or whatever kind you like
- 3 Tbsp. All purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- In a microwave safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate in 30 second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate has melted. Set aside.
- In a medium sized mixing bowl, beat together the vegan butter and sugar.
- Make flax eggs by mixing together the flax and water in a small bowl, set aside for a minute to thicken. Add to the butter and sugar mixture. Beat until combined.
- Add the red wine, and then the flour. Stir until fully combined.
- Now add the chocolate, and fold just until combined, don't over mix.
- Take two ramekins, and grease the insides with vegan butter, then put about 1/2 tsp. of sugar into the ramekin and roll around to coat the inside.
- Fill each ramekin evenly, about 3/4 of the way full.
- Bake at 425 degrees for 11-13 minutes, until the outside is set and starts to pull away from the sides.
- Let cool for about 5 minutes, then flip ramekins over onto plates. The cake should slide right out.
- Serve with ice cream or whipped coconut cream and berries. Or whatever you want, really!
Notes
- If the cake doesn't slide right out, run a knife around the edges, and it should slide out easily!
- You can bake a little longer if you want more cake than pudding texture!

Vegan Molten Chocolate Mug Cake
One of the biggest complaints I hear from people trying to permanently adopt a vegan diet, is that they can’t cook or bake, and there are no ready made options for them. So they fall of the wagon because they crave something and can’t make it themselves. Well, I want to change that. As well as my more advanced recipes, I really want to start working on lots of options for those who either don’t know how to cook or bake, or just don’t have the time. This is one of those recipes. I have been brainstorming about things anyone can make, even with a tiny kitchen or a college kid trying to stick to a vegan life living in a dorm room. This takes five minutes, anyone can do it, and all you need is a microwave.
Chocolate is my weakness, my kryptonite. I have to set myself up for success, and that is knowing, I need something a little sweet after dinner. That can be fruit or something really healthy, but sometimes I just need some chocolate cake. I need a quick healthy option, so I don’t have a serious craving and go really crazy and eat something that will make me feel sick and regret all of my decisions! I know myself and my body and brain, and how they work together, and sometimes the best idea for me is to have plan. A plan for the times that I really, really need chocolate!
Not only is this a super moist and fluffy cake, I took it up a notch by adding some dark chocolate to the center, and when your spoon dives into the middle of this amazing cake, you get an extra special treat, with a beautiful lava flow of dark sweet goodness. I can’t tell you what a dream come true this is for me, I have been dying for a quick luscious dessert that will satisfy any craving. Plant based and refined sugar free, this is something to enjoy and not feel guilty about. I threw some vegan vanilla ice cream on top, and holy crap, your taste buds will never know this was a five minute vegan dessert! You literally mix everything in a mug, throw it into the microwave for a couple of minutes, and out pops magic, I swear, it must be magic!
I dare you to find an easier dessert! I would like to also suggest that it is one of the best chocolate cakes as well. I was just glad I decided to make this a single serving, because I would have eaten more! This also takes me back to my single days living by myself and trying to figure out how to make fantastic meals for one. Here is a good way to take care of yourself, have your cake!!! I hope you enjoy! Adapted from The Food Network.

Vegan Chai Spice Bundt Cake
There is something about the smell of Chai that comforts me to my core. It is warm and spicy and some days, that is just what I need. Every morning here in Florida, I am hoping for cooler weather, and I can can feel it and smell it coming, but it isn’t here yet. I am dreaming about needing a hot Chai latte and some hot chocolate and a sweater. I love sweater weather, but my favorite is when you need a sweater and sunglasses. I can lay in the sun all day when it is cold outside. In the spirit of my ultimate happy place coming soon, I give you the Chai Spice Bundt Cake!!
This super simple cake will make you feel all good feelings! You can actually make it even easier if you just find a chai spice mix, I made my own, but either way is fine! This made my whole house smell like Fall, and made my mouth water. This cake was devoured really quickly by the family and then I got an immediate request for another one! I love using bundt pans, it makes it look like you did a lot more work and you a super fancy, but this is actually way easier than any other cake. No frosting to worry about, and cuts the calories in half! I actually almost made a glaze for it, but once I tasted it, I knew that was not necessary!
You can also take it step further if you want and use whole wheat flour and coconut sugar instead of brown sugar, and make this uber healthy! I tested it with half whole wheat flour and half all purpose flour and it was delicious as well. I try to make my recipes super versatile, so that you, the reader can switch it up if you want. I want them all to be easily converted to sugar free and gluten free as well. This is a good one to try some different options with.
This cake is moist, fluffy, sweet and spicy, Fall on a plate! I dusted with a bit of powdered sugar and added some fruit, a voila, your friends will be so impressed! I hope you enjoy, and comment with any questions, I am happy to answer any questions about this, another recipe, or vegan cooking in general! Adapted from King Arthur Flour.
