TABLE OF CONTENTS
Vegan Pound Cake
Pound cake is a simple classic. Equally welcome at a fancy brunch or an easy weeknight dessert, this recipe for vegan pound cake lets you enjoy that old favorite.
Enjoy a sweet slice as is, or top with fresh berries, whip cream, chocolate, caramel, anything! This Cookies and Cream Pound Cake recipe adds the extras for you - pieces of cookie throughout the entire loaf - YUM.
Why is it called Pound Cake?
Traditionally, pound cake means one pound each butter, sugar, eggs, and flour. That is the extent of the recipe - just grab your kitchen scale and preheat the oven!
How To Make Vegan Pound Cake
A vegan pound cake is a bit more involved, but the familiar soft and dense texture and sweet happy bite remains. The measures are different, and this Vegan Pound Cake uses dairy free yogurt and milk in addition to the sugar, butter, and flour.
This Cookies and Cream Pound Cake is definitely going to be a staple in our kitchen - we have already enjoyed it twice.
Gluten Free Pound Cake
The gluten free brand Kinnikinnick has been around for a while, and is still one of my favorite gluten free brands. They have a gluten free chocolate sandwich cookie. They are also vegan - it is sometimes difficult to find both.
Making a gluten free pound cake is easy. Use a gluten free sandwich cookie, and gluten free all purpose flour. My note, after making this recipe as is before then making it gluten free:
If you are using a gluten free all purpose flour, use 1 ¼ cups, or ¼ cup less than what the recipe calls for. Bake the cake for 45 minutes. Unless it is still gooey when you insert a toothpick, remove the cake after 45 minutes of baking. (If a few crumbs still cling to the toothpick? You are good.)
How Long Will Pound Cake Stay Fresh?
My rule for freshness is about three days, stored in an airtight container. After that, I slice the pound cake and French Toast it.
Yep, in our house, French Toasting is a verb:
Quick Bread French Toast Recipes

- Snickerdoodle French Toast : following the same recipe as the pumpkin bread version, this sweet snickerdoodle bread makes a delicious presentation everyone loves!
- Savory Broccoli Cheddar French Toast : topped with marinara and studded with fresh broccoli, we stray from the sweet for a minute with this recipe, and it is SO worth it!
