Vegan walnut cake decorated with creamy plant-based cream and walnuts

Vegan Walnut Cake

Walnut cake is one of the most popular desserts in classic Hungarian and Central European cuisine, and now you can make it in a vegan version. Applesauce provides natural moisture and sweetness, while plant-based cream adds a light creaminess to the cake. This healthier alternative is perfect for those who want to enjoy a dairy-free but delicious cake.
