How to Prepare Cinnamon Roll Cake [Vegan]

For the Cake:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F degrees. Spray a 9 x 13 dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Make your flax eggs by mixing the water and ground flax seeds together in a small bowl. Place the flax egg mixture into the refrigerator for a few minutes for it to thicken up.
  3. In a large bowl (or a stand mixer), combine all of the ingredients for the cake (except for the melted vegan butter).
  4. Slowly add the 1/2 cup vegan melted butter. I found it easier to mix using a hand mixer versus mixing with a spoon. You could also use a stand mixer. Mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Spread the batter evenly into your baking dish.

For the Filling:

  1. In a small bowl, combine all of your filling ingredients: melted vegan butter, brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Stir until well combined.
  2. Scoop the filling by spoonfuls onto the cake batter.
  3. Take a butter knife and swirl your knife all around the cake. Swirl through both the cinnamon and the cake batter.
  4. Bake the cake for about 35-40 minutes, until a knife or toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

For the Vegan Cream Cheese Frosting:

  1. Combine all of the ingredients (except the almond milk, and mix until smooth. Add the almond milk if you want a thinner frosting.
  2. Spread the frosting over the warm cake.
