Vegan Thanksgiving Desserts FAQ

What can I substitute for eggs in a vegan Thanksgiving cake?

Some popular Thanksgiving cakes are pumpkin cake and apple cake, so it’s simple to replace the eggs in this recipe with pumpkin puree or applesauce without altering the flavor of the cake. Other egg substitutes that have a neutral flavor are vegan yogurt, silken tofu, or a mixture of baking soda and vinegar.

Why is my vegan cake not fluffy?

Making a fluffy vegan cake can go wrong for a few reasons. Without leavening agents like baking powder or baking soda (or when used incorrectly), the cake won’t rise properly. Overmixing batter creates a dense, gummy texture by agitating the gluten in the flour.

Is pumpkin vegan?

Yes, pumpkin is vegan. You can cook fresh pumpkin to use in both savory and sweet recipes like pumpkin soup, pumpkin curry, pumpkin muffins, and pumpkin pie. Canned pumpkin puree and some canned pumpkin pie mixes are vegan, but be sure to check the ingredients. Store-bought pumpkin pie is rarely vegan because it usually contains eggs and milk.
