The recipe is created by This Rawsome Vegan Life, a food blog specializing in [animal-free meal and dessert recipes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinnaholic-valentines-day-menu). Infused with rolled oats, dried figs and raisins, this dessert blends great taste with nutrition. The vegan layer cake is also infused with [organic cacao and vanilla powder](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxurious-vegan-chocolates) and a hint of Himalayan salt. When layered, the cake's pieces are held together by an all-natural frosting, consisting of dates, cinnamon powder and the same cacao and vanilla powder mixed used for its base. This Rawsome Vegan Life's recipe also suggests a hint of chili powder when creating the cake's frosting and recommends raw chocolate sauce and mint leaves as a tasty garnish. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 25% | Activity: 41% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Vegan Dessert Recipes:** Creating innovative and delicious vegan desserts that cater to dietary restrictions. - **Healthy Cake Alternatives:** Developing healthier cake options that incorporate wholesome ingredients. - **Plant-based Ingredient Substitutions:** Finding new ways to use plant-based ingredients in traditional recipes. ### Where This Applies - **Food Blogging:** Exploring new and creative ways to create and share vegan recipes through food blogs. - **Health Food Industry:** Meeting the demand for healthier desserts by offering plant-based alternatives. - **Ingredient Substitution Market:** Developing and marketing plant-based alternatives for traditional baking ingredients. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Guilt-Free Vegan Cheesecakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/culiraw.md) - [Textural Plant-Based Chocolate Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2foods-gteau-chocolate.md) - [Vegan Caterpillar-Shaped Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-caterpillar-cakes.md) - [Vegan-Friendly Colomba Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colomba-cake.md) - [Free-From Dessert Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/red-velvet-cake-donut.md) - [Frozen Oat Milk Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nondairy-dessert-cakes.md) - [Mini Plant-Based Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantastic-raspberry-chocolate-cake.md) - [Indulgent Plant-Based Ganaches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-ganache.md) - [Vegan-Friendly Baking Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glutenfree-molten-chocolate-cake-baking-kit.md)
