Eating vegan cakes is not only beneficial for health or the environment, but is also good for those who intend to lose weight.
Made entirely from natural ingredients such as nut milk, coconut milk, and fruit to replace ingredients such as eggs, butter, and milk, vegan cakes also have fewer calories than regular cakes.
