There are plenty of egg and dairy-free recipes to choose from this World Baking Day 2024! Whether you’ve recently gone vegan, have egg or dairy allergies, or you just fancy trying something new, these recipes will be sure to help! They’re fun to make and most use only simple ingredients.
If you take a quick look at my blog, you’ll probably be able to tell that I have recently discovered the joy of national and international food holidays, LOL. Most recently, I’ve been thinking about World Baking Day!
I hear of this holiday every once in a while, via Instagram or other social media platforms, but I’ve never actively participated in it. Not on purpose anyway…
This year, I’m changing that! I’ve created this post for any other vegans who wish to partake in World Baking Day, which is on May 17th 2024. It includes 25 of my most classic, most popular blog recipes- all kinds of cakes, cupcakes, brownies and more! I hope you like this post and if you make any of the recipes at home, please let me know what you think. I’d love to hear from you. Enjoy!
Vegan World Baking Day recipes
Without further ado, let’s get started!
1. Biscoff cake
This has by far been my most popular baking recipe to date! It’s a 3-layer cinnamon and vanilla sponge cake, filled and covered with creamy Biscoff frosting. I would tell you how good it is but I’ll let the multiple 5-star reviews do the talking!
2. Double chocolate cookies
These are SUPER chunky, decadent cookies! Chocolate flavoured and filled with dairy-free white and dark chocolate chunks, these are always a crowd-pleasing dessert.
3. Lemon drizzle loaf cake
I couldn’t make a World Baking Day post without a classic lemon drizzle cake, could I?! This is a super easy bake, using just 8 simple ingredients. It’s light, fluffy, and perfectly citrusy, with a drizzle of lemon icing on top.
4. Flapjacks
If you love oaty desserts, you’ll love these flapjacks. You can make them with just 4 ingredients- things that you probably already have lying around in your kitchen! They’re gooey, chewy and perfectly sweet.
5. French macarons
This recipe is one of the trickier desserts on this list but the extra effort is so worth it! Made with aquafaba instead of eggs, these patisserie treats are just as delicious as the traditional kind!
6. Rocky road
I know, I know… this is technically not a *baking* recipe but it’s just too delicious not to include. This rocky road is a super easy, no-bake chocolate treat, filled with Digestive biscuits, vegan marshmallows, pretzels, popcorn and dairy-free chocolate chips. Yum!
7. Vanilla sprinkle cake
A light, fluffy vanilla traybake cake topped with simple water icing and vegan sprinkles. This is great for feeding a crowd and is easy enough for little bakers to help with!
8. Bakewell tart
A shortcrust pastry case filled with cherry conserve and almond frangipane. This is a classy, elegant dessert that’s great for dinner parties or just whenever you’ve got guests to feed!
9. Brownies
If you like your brownies super gooey and fudgy, this recipe is for you! These are rich, decadent chocolate brownies filled with chunks of dairy-free white chocolate throughout. The longer you keep them in the fridge, the chewier they become!
10. Viennese whirls
Despite the name, these biscuits are classically British. They’re made up of two piped shortbread rounds, sandwiched together with strawberry jam and dairy-free vanilla buttercream. A match made in heaven!
11. Banana bread
Do you struggle to get your banana bread both fluffy and moist? Then try this recipe! It’s the best of both worlds, with a soft, moist centre and a light, fluffy outside.
12. Vanilla cheesecake
Classic vanilla cheesecake but without the dairy. It consists of a simple Digestive biscuit base and a creamy, light and airy vanilla cheesecake filling.
13. Custard creams
These may look like a difficult bake but they are actually so simple and easy to make! Custard flavoured biscuits sandwiched together with dairy-free custard buttercream. They can be made with or without the swirly pattern on them too!
14. Fairy cakes
These bite-sized vanilla cakes are perfect for any child’s birthday party. They’re topped with a basic water icing and sprinkles, making an easy bake that everyone will love.
15. Victoria sponge
One of the most delicious recipes for World Baking Day is this humble Victoria sponge cake. Two fluffy eggless sponge cakes, a strawberry jam and dairy-free buttercream filling, topped with a dusting of icing sugar. Great for afternoon tea.
16. Pavlova
This is another aquafaba recipe that tastes just like a traditional pavlova. It’s firm and crisp on the outside and has a soft, chewy, marshmallowy inside. Top it with dairy-free whipped cream and fresh fruit for an impressive dessert that will be enjoyed by all.
17. Jam and coconut sponge cake
If you ever attended British school dinners, you’ll remember this popular cake! This vegan version is free from eggs and dairy but is just as light and fluffy as the original.
18. Carrot cupcakes
Cute, miniature carrot cakes! Sweetly spiced with cinnamon and ginger, topped with dairy-free cream cheese icing, these cupcakes are perfect for Easter and Spring time.
19. Gluten-free lemon muffins
A great recipe for anyone with a gluten intolerance. These muffins are fluffy yet moist, super easy to make, and wonderfully flavourful. Top them with a drizzle of lemon icing for an extra special touch.
20. Chocolate traybake
This is the best recipe for any chocolate lover! A basic but delicious chocolate sponge traybake topped with dairy-free chocolate buttercream and a mixture of white and ‘milk’ chocolate chips. This recipe tends to be popular with children, when both making and eating it!
21. Vanilla cupcakes
We couldn’t forget vanilla cupcakes for World Baking Day! If you prefer your desserts simple and classic, give this recipe a try. You can enjoy them with or without the buttercream frosting.
22. Red velvet cupcakes
If you’ve never tried red velvet before, it’s somewhat a mixture of vanilla and chocolate, plus a hint of red food colouring. This cupcake flavour goes really well with the cream cheese frosting on top!
23. Sticky toffee pudding
A rich, decadent date pudding served with super sweet, sticky toffee sauce. This is best served warmed up with some dairy-free vanilla ice cream.
24. Gluten-free chocolate chip cookies
Another recipe for anyone following a gluten-free diet! These cookies are perfectly crisp, with a soft and chewy centre. Packed with chunks of vegan chocolate, they make a wonderful treat for World Baking Day 2024!
25. Blueberry muffins
Vegan muffins packed with fresh blueberries. These are tall, light and fluffy, just like the bakery style. They’re easy to make, with just 8 ingredients, and they’re ready to eat in less than 1 hour.
