Bundt cakes are impressive, rich desserts that are very simple to prepare. Although most bundt cake recipes call for butter, milk, and eggs, this version of the fall favorite is not only dairy-free but vegan, too!
If you're preparing this cake for a Halloween party or Thanksgiving meal, feel free to add other fun, festive ingredients to the batter. Dried cranberries, dates, chopped walnuts, or pecans all make lovely, tasty additions to this cake. And if you'd prefer to make a spooky spider web icing on your cake, use the simple icing below!
