Vegan Spiced Toffee Cake Recipe (Egg free/ Gluten free Recipe)

If you bake my vegan spiced toffee cake recipe once I guarantee that you will be baking it again for sure.

You best grab a piece of this tasty toffee cake before everybody else eats it all up!

This is an egg free toffee cake recipe a gluten free toffee cake recipe and it is fully vegan.

I use a combination of individual sweet spices but you can use a ready made sweet spice blend if the spices I use are not available to you.

The use of both dates and dried apricots add to the toffee flavour of the cake, when dates and apricots cook the texture of the fruit becomes soft and the flavour is very much of toffee. I use unsulphured apricots which are darker in colour and more rich in flavour.

Once my cake is cooked I insert a skewer into the cake and spread a thick layer of my dairy free toffee sauce all over the cake.

This spiced toffee cake is so more-ish, I slice the cake up into squares and it is not long before there is only cake crumbs left over on the plate.
