Today it's Mother's Day in Germany, so to celebrate I've got this vegan eggnog bundt cake for you and your mom 🌸 I rarely ever cook or bake with alcohol (because I generally rarely ever drink it), but if I do it's usually in risotto or in a cake like this because the alcohol itself evaporates, and only the flavour stays.
Actually I'm using advocaat in this recipe which is a German egg liqueur which I found a vegan "substitute" for in our local grocery store recently, so I just needed to get it and give it a try!
The verdict:
- (vegan) advocaat taste great with homemade brownies, such as these chocolate kidney bean brownies 🍫
- it also taste absolutely amazing paired with (vegan) coconut ice cream – I've only tried it with store-bought so far but I'm sure it would also go great with this homemade coconut ice cream or even this banoffee ice cream 🍨
- it also makes for a pretty decent eggnog / advocaat cake, both as a batter ingredient and as a "topping" 🍰😋

Instructions
Preheat oven to 180 °C / 350 °F.
In a mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, and sugar. Whisk. In a separate bowl, mix together the wet ingredients: almond milk, advocaat / eggnog, sunflower oil, vanilla essence, and apple cider vinegar.
Then add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and mix using an electric whisk or a regular whisk. Transfer the batter into a greased bundt cake pan. Bake in the preheated oven at 180 °C / 350 °F for about 40 minutes.
Remove the cake pan from the oven and allow to cool.
Garnish with powdered sugar and more advocaat / eggnog to serve.
If you like, you can also top off the cake with a proper glaze. I've added an optional recipe for that above. Simply combine the ingredients for the eggnog glaze in a bowl and mix to combine, using a fork, a whisk or an electric whisk. Drizzle glaze over cake, and enjoy!
