Gingerbread Walnut Bundt Cake | Gluten free * Vegan

November 11, 2018

Think of a lazy Fall Sunday, gloomy weather outside, it’s rainy, it’s cold and from (not so) faraway Christmas vibes are starting to linger in the air …

How can one not switch the oven on and bake something sweet, uh?

Maybe something gingerbread-y, that your sweetheart says “Woah, it smells SO good in here!” as he enters the kitchen while the cake is baking?

That’s the kind of morning this gluten free vegan gingerbread cake has been created.

I badly wanted a comforting dessert, one that feels like a warm hug in the cold days, even more tasty with the crunchiness of the walnuts, which pair amazingly with the gingerbread flavour!

This gluten free gingerbread cake is very easy and very quick to make, everyone who likes winter-y spice-y flavours will LOVE it.

And if you have some (vegan) vanilla ice cream around, don’t esitate to add a couple spoons on top of your gingerbread cake slice. Heavenly pairing, promise.

So, hope you will enjoy this cake, as always I’d love to know if you make it, what you think of the recipe and if you have any suggestion!

Ciao!
