Are you looking for a quick and easy Vegan Birthday Cake Recipe?
I’m excited to share this no-bake, vegan, peanut butter banana cake, perfect for Birthdays or a delicious treat.
It is easy to make, and you will need a few ingredients, a blender, and 20 or so minutes.
Let’s jump right in!
Ingredients for the Easy Vegan Birthday Cake:
Crust:
You will need just three ingredients – oats, ground into oat flour, dates, and cocoa powder for the crust. If you want the cake to be fully raw, you can substitute the oats for cashews or almonds.
Peanut cream:
The cream is made mainly with bananas and peanut butter, but to make the cream more firm, we will add coconut oil without falling apart.
While the banana will make it naturally sweet, we will need to have plenty of peanut butter and additional liquid sweetener, like agave.
Chocolate layer:
The final layer is more chocolate cream; we will add agave, peanut butter, and some plant milk. If we use just chocolate, it will break when we cut the cake.
Because we will add more ingredients, the chocolate layer will be softer and won’t break. If you use chocolate sweetened with sugar, you can skip the agave. 🙂

hello! today I made this cake (for tomorrow) ? but I did some changes (oat to rice flakes, coconut oil to coconut full fat cream, agave to coconut sugar). Usually I don’t taste while cooking, but because of changes I had to taste for texture or sweetness. Well, it tasted very promising!!
And fun part- I always run into difficulties while decorating vegan cakes. This time it looks like something random sparkled on top of the cake from the pantry…? ?
Oh, that sounds pretty good! How was it? I would love to know :)) And I understand, I have the same problem when it comes to decorating cakes. Sprinkling random things is my to-go option 😀 And honestly, cocoa nibs look pretty okay!
