After cooking, the cake is flipped back right-side-up, so that the fruit is facing up.

Vegan Cake 

Vegan cakes have been introduced as an alternative to making cakes without eggs, dairy butter, or dairy milk. There are several types of plant-based substitutes like banana or flax-seed for eggs, non-trans fat margarine or oils for butter, and plant milk for milk that can be easily replaced. These types of cakes with alternative ingredients create an equally delicious but completely vegan cake.

Bundt Cake

These types of cakes are baked in a distinctive ring-shaped pan with a hollow center, to give a doughnut shape.  The bundt pan allows the cake to be in contact with the edges of the pan, and therefore allows heat to be transferred more evenly.

These easy-to-make fluffy cakes are baked with basic kitchen staples and topped with a simple vanilla or chocolate glaze.
