Chai spiced parsnip cake – vegan

December 28, 2021 / Niki / 5 Comments

Do you have any leftover parsnips? If you do then this squidgy chai spiced parsnip cake is for you. If you haven’t then go get some! 😉 This cake is worth it!

I love this cake – its sticky with treacle and spiced with ginger, all spice, cinnamon and cloves. The glazed with a zingy lemon drizzle.

The base for this cake is inspired the ginger cake recipe from my new cookbook ‘My Vegan Year‘ as it’s my favourite cake recipe to date. With added grated parsnip which I promise works really well.

I hope you enjoy, sending love, Niki xxx

I'd love to know if you made this recipe.

    I made this last night. The texture is lovely! I didn’t have almonds so I put ground peanuts, and I didn’t have treacle so I put in leftover xmas mincemeat instead. Can’t wait to make the original recipe now.
