I got the recipe for the vegan Christmas bundt cake from the culinary magazine Eva Cucina, and it is clearly without eggs and butter, while inside, it has plenty of currants that I’ve also used as decoration, with the indispensable powdered sugar!
I am not vegan, but after seeing this recipe, I tried this soft and light cake which clearly follows this lifestyle and approach to food and beyond!
I am not very expert, and I apologize, and that is why I tried to do some research to answer some questions that perhaps some of you have…

Big question: what do vegans eat?
Vegans eat fruits and vegetables, grains and bread, seeds and nuts, and legumes.
What don’t vegans eat? People following this diet do not eat meat, fish, honey, milk and its derivatives, and eggs.

What are the valid alternatives to meat and fish for vegans? There is seitan, derived from wheat gluten processing, tempeh obtained from the fermentation of yellow soybeans, mopur, and even wheat muscle to make totally plant-based stews and roasts!

What do vegans eat instead of cheese? It is nutritional yeast flakes obtained from the processing of brewer’s yeast, used to sprinkle various preparations, while chickpea hummus is used if we need to replace creamy cheese.

And what does a vegan eat instead of eggs? If we talk about whole eggs, we can use bananas, plant-based yogurt, or potato starch. Instead, if we talk about egg whites, there is aquafaba, the liquid from chickpeas with which I made vegan meringues on the blog!

How to replace cow’s milk in a vegan diet?
In this case, we have many substitutes, now called soy beverages, but also millet, oat, and rice.

They seem vegan but are not… Some foods are mistakenly considered suitable for this diet but are not, specifically:
– baking powder because it is often added with an animal-derived stabilizer;
– some types of wine and beer because one of the filtering methods is isinglass, a special animal gelatine that removes processing residues;
– chocolate even though dark chocolate should not contain any, even in minimal part, milk chocolate may contain milk powder or whey;
– some types of bread that may have lard or milk in the dough;
– certain kinds of candies or chewing gums where sometimes there is animal gelatine called fish glue.
