Vegan Vanilla And Fig Loaf Cake

Vegan Vanilla And Fig Loaf Cake - Who loves figs as much as I do? Figs make me happy! Not only because they are delicious but also because they mean autumn is around the corner!

The base of this Vanilla fig loaf cake is my favorite. Since it’s fig season (yaaay my favorite season is around the corner!) I decided to add figs; but I made the same cake with raspberries during summer (recipe here) and it was a hit!

I used fresh ripe figs and the taste of this cake was heavenly! Baked figs are so flavorful and delicious! Of course, feel free to replace figs with other fruits / nuts, if you prefer.



The recipe for this cake is very easy and I am sure it will become your go-to cake recipe!

I have noticed in the comments that many of you guys want to know how to replace some of the ingredients. Please remember that using the ingredients listed and following all the steps properly, will give best results.

If there are substitutions that I recommend, you will find them listed together with the regular ingredients. Please remember that any substitution will affect the final result.

I haven’t tried making this cake gluten free, but I think that all purpose gluten free flour should be a good substitute in this recipe.

If you guys made some of my recipes using gluten-free flours or other replacements, please share your experience in the comments, to help other people!
