Vegan Christmas Popcorn Bundt Cake Recipe

This recipe is by the super talented Gemma AKA Cinnamon Girl

What better way to get into the Christmas spirit than treating yourself to some sweet indulgence? This spiced bundt cake glazed with dark chocolate ganache and topped with our NEW vegan butterscotch caramel popcorn is definitely a show stopper!

The cake is delicious on its own but if you decide to top it off with chocolate and gourmet popcorn then the result is simply magical.

Santa’s Shed is one of my absolute favourite flavours, and I must admit that I couldn’t stop nibbling popcorn while decorating the cake. I’m sure this will be a great dessert to serve during the festive season, you’ll impress your guests and it’s so good no one will ever guess it’s vegan. Instead of leaving cookies and milk for Santa this year try with a piece of this cake, maybe you get some extra gifts. ;-)
