London: Best Vegan Food (Part II)

September 28, 2017January 1, 2025Posted in London, TravelTagged London, TravelLeave a comment

If you’ve been following my Instagram posts and stories, you’ll have seen that the past few days I was back to doing what I do best: eating my way through London like the hungriest of hungry caterpillars. My schedule for those 5 days was literally a list of people to catch up with, and places to eat at (luckily food and friends can easily be combined).

While it’s always tempting to return to old favorites, I wanted to try some new places, and I am happy to say that they are all worth recommending. [For a much longer list of recommendations for plant-based food in London, check out my Ultimate Guide].

Today I’m sharing with you a recipe by my wonderful friend and gifted foodie Rebecca (you may know her gorgeous account: @thezestylime – if not, I highly recommend you check it out for stunning plant-based food porn!).

Rebecca was sweet enough to surprise me with a slice of this blackberry vanilla cake at my farewell dinner in London, and I was blown away by how delicious and satisfying it was. It’s not very surprising, therefore, that hers was the first cake I baked upon being reunited with an oven, back home in Switzerland! I’ve already made this cake twice – if that’s not love than I don’t know what is! It’s definitely a keeper, and I couldn’t be more pleased to share it with you today:
