Vegan Eggnog Cake

This post was last updated on December 15th, 2020 at 10:46 pm

If there is one food or drink that makes me think about the holiday season, it’s most definitely eggnog. I loved it as a kid, and as an adult it’s become a yearly tradition for me to enjoy a nondairy, spiked cup of ‘nog while decorating our tree. Thankfully there are some good dairy free options for us these days, and this Vegan Eggnog Cake is one my favorite ways to enjoy it.

This is a soft, sweet, decadent dessert that’s simple to make and full of plenty of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger flavor. It’s topped with a sugary eggnog drizzle, and the whole family loves it. We like to take it over the top and pair it with a scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream. Holiday perfection.

Dairy Free Eggnog

My current favorite vegan eggnog is by Califia Farms. It’s an almond milk base, and while it’s not as thick and creamy as traditional eggnog, the spices and flavor are right on point. The holiday nog creamer from Nut Pods will also work in this, and for a nut free option you can try the soy based Nog from Silk.
