Tips For Making Cherry Crumble Cakes
Don't Over-Mix The Cake Batter
Making this mistake will often result in your loaf cakes being dense. We always want our vegan cakes to be light and fluffy so gently fold the cake batter until all of the flour is combined.
Refrigerate The Streusel
Let the topping firm up a little in the fridge before sprinkling it on top of the cake batter.

Description
This golden & soft vegan cherry crumble cake is topped with an almond streusel. It's toasty, comforting and super easy to make.
Ingredients
For the crumble topping:
- 30g all-purpose flour
- 25g brown sugar (demerara)
- 1.5 Tablespoons vegan butter (softened)
- 1.5 Tablespoons flaked almonds
For the cake batter:
- 200ml soy milk
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 195g all-purpose flour (sifted)
- 150g brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 50ml canola oil (rapeseed)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- 100g fresh cherries (stalks removed and pitted)
Instructions
Preparation:
- Preheat your oven to 177 Celsius (350F).
- Grease two 20cm x 10cm rectangular loaf cake tins with vegan butter then set aside.
Make the almond streusel:
- Add all the streusel ingredients to a small bowl. Use your hands to combine the softened vegan butter with the other ingredients until the mixture becomes crumbly.
- Place the streusel into the fridge so that it can firm up while you make the cake batter.
Make the cake batter:
- Begin by making the vegan buttermilk. Mix the soy milk with the apple cider vinegar. Set aside to curdle for 8 minutes. Measure out the other cake ingredients in the meantime.
- In a mixing bowl, add the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg.
- Pour in the vegan buttermilk, canola oil, vanilla extract and maple syrup. Fold the cake batter until almost all the flour has been combined.
- Once most of the flour is folded, add the pitted cherries.
- Fold the cherries into the batter then pour it equally into the two tins. Bake in the centre of the preheated oven for 20 minutes. A skewer will come out of them clean when they’re ready.
- Let the two cakes cool down for 15 minutes, then transfer them over onto a cooling rack.
