The vegan bundt cake recipe cooks quickly because it is baked in a bundt pan, shaping it into a doughnut-like shape.
Bundt pans affect the cooking time because the pan has a larger surface area and distributes the heat more evenly and cooks more quickly.
That means that you can prepare and bake this cake in less than an hour!
Our vegan bundt cake is flavoured with pistachios which taste divine and are a great source of healthy fats, fibre, protein, antioxidants, and vitamins and minerals, including vitamin B6, and potassium.
But really, the main reason to make this vegan cake is it’s simply delicious!
Cook’s tip!
Use the best quality maple syrup you can – the taste makes all the difference when it’s drizzled over this simple cake.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until firm and golden. Leave the cake to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool.
- To decorate, transfer the cake to a serving plate, drizzle with maple syrup and scatter the reserved pistachios over the top.
