Vegan Mini Cinnamon Sugar Cream Cheese Bundt Cakes. Gluten-free! Sweet, bursting with cinnamon, vegan, dairy-free and gluten-free. These are filled with a vegan cream cheese swirl and are delicious, moist and so easy to make.
You all know how much I love to bake. It’s my main passion, when it comes to cooking and creating. So, when Amy of Fragrant Vanilla Cake asked me to review her latest cookbook, “Just Vegan Cakes”, obviously I said YES.
The sound of so many of the desserts in her cookbook had me drooling. I ultimately decided to share this Vegan Cinnamon Sugar Cream Cheese Bundt Cake (with her permission of course) because I love cinnamon more than any other flavor. I mean, a cinnamon and cream cheese flavored cake with lots of cinnamon sugar sprinkled on top?? Obviously, I couldn’t wait to make these. I also liked that this one was made with coconut sugar. Guys, it is sooo delicious! Cinnamon-y, sugary, moist and rich!
This cake has a delicious cream cheese swirled throughout the batter and it not only smells divine, it tastes it too. Look how gorgeous the swirls look. The only thing different I did with her recipe, was to use “lite” canned coconut milk for the cake, instead of full fat coconut milk. There is already a good amount of oil in the cake (which I normally do not use) and a lot of cashew butter, so I figured I could still get by with the lite coconut milk and it still be plenty rich, and it was definitely very rich still.
Her whole book is filled with over 75 vegan and gluten-free recipes with amazing cupcakes, mini cakes, fancy cakes, you name it. So many beautiful, creative cakes to choose from. She even has an entire chapter dedicated to chocolate cakes. Um, yes! Seriously, any type of cake you can imagine. Everything from Lemon Poppy Seed Bundt Cake, Caramel Pecan Cupcakes, PB & J Swirl Cheesecake, Flourless Caramel Cake, Chocolate Hazelnut Cake. Drooling, yet?
This book is for people who love rich desserts and to impress a crowd, as the majority of them contain oil, coconut butter or coconut milk. So, if anybody thinks vegan desserts are made with just boring veggies and no flavor, this book will show them otherwise! She even has many raw desserts and several beautiful cakes with hidden veggies like zucchini and beets. Nobody would know though, because they are still very rich. She even has a chapter on Ice Cream Cakes.
So, if you are looking for an amazing cookbook on rich vegan cakes, then you gotta get Amy’s “Just Vegan Cakes” book!
I hope you all enjoy this lovely recipe, courtesy of Amy and her book. Be sure to leave feedback below if you make it!

Vegan Cinnamon Sugar Cream Cheese Bundt Cake
Ingredients
Cream Cheese
- 1/2 cup raw cashew butter
- 1/4 cup full fat coconut milk
- 1 Tbsp maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon cider vinegar
Cake Batter
- 1 1/2 cups gluten-free all purpose flour (see NOTE at bottom)
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 3/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1/4 cup plus 2 Tbsp coconut oil (If you need oil-free, try subbing with liquid coconut butter or applesauce, although I have not tried those)
- 3 Tbsp aquafaba
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup full fat coconut milk (I used lite coconut milk by Thai Kitchen brand instead of full-fat)
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
Topping
- 2 Tbsp coconut sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F, and oil a 4 hole mini bundt pan with coconut oil. Note: I could not find a 4 hole bundt pan anywhere, so I bought a 6 hole one and it was perfect for the amount of batter.
- To make the cream cheese, whisk together cheese ingredients until smooth and set aside.
- To make the batter, whisk together all dry ingredients in a large bowl, then whisk in all of the wet ingredients. Pour half the batter into the prepared pan. Drop some of the cream cheese mixture over that, then top with remaining batter, then the remaining cream cheese mixture. Swirl around with a knife, to create marbling.
- Place in the oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Let cool in pans for about 15 minutes, then unmold.
- Mix together the cinnamon and sugar topping in a bowl. Then once cakes are unmolded, dust them with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
Notes
I am all about cake. Love it, love it, love it! This book sound perfect for me and these Cinnamon Sugar Cream Cheese Bundt Cakes sound so good. They have made me want to go out and buy a bundt tin. I have never had one!
Yes, this was my first mini bundt pan but I have a few of the regular size ones. I love making bundt cakes, they are so gorgeous!
These look fantastic!
I’ve gotten really into making mug cakes lately: they’re my current favorite to bake.
When I get a chance to bake I love to make cakes!
I looove to bake brownies! I do love (vegan) cream cheese though, so I’ll have to try these out.
On a related note, if you were ever to create a recipe for vegan cream cheese brownies… that’d be awesome 🙂 Or something like black bottom cupcakes, where you put the cream cheese “frosting” on top to bake with the cupcakes and it all bakes together… I haven’t had those in ages!
Well, you are in luck because I have a cream cheese swirl brownie recipe coming in my future cookbook! Those black bottom cupcakes sound amazing too, will have to make a note of that!
I love baking doughnuts.
These cute lite mini cakes look awesome! I love anything with cinnamon! What a great idea for a vegan cookbook – all cakes. YUM!
Gorgeous pictures and a great taste of what looks to be an amazingly sweet and delicious cookbook!
Thank you Kelly!
This looks so delicious! Thank you for all the wonderful recipes you share!
I love baking cakes!
I like to bake fruit breads and/or cupcakes
My favorite thing to bake is this delicious healthy vegan zucchini banana nut bread. My husband personally likes the vegan cheesecake I make. It is to die for.
I’m currently in love with black bean brownies and muffins.
I’m probably best at making cookies and cakes, but I prefer to eat raw treats myself! And Amy has lots of great raw recipes too!
Cookies all day, every day! Thanks for the chance to win!
i love making and decorating cakes when i have the time, but for quick and easy deliciousness, bars/brownies!
I like making bar recipes, like Congo Bars (often called Blondies). Many of these can be done in one baking pan, and all made at once, rather than in multiple pans like cookies, and much less stirring and beating like a cake.
But baking, and all baking is awesome.
I love baking anything,so it’s tough to decide.
I love making cheezcakes!
Pies! My specialty!
I enjoy baking everything! Especially trying new recipes and sneaking something healthy in the recipe!
