Vegan German Chocolate Cake Recipe With Coconut Pecan Frosting

My regular readers know how much I love having afternoon tea at local restaurants. Alice’s Tea Cup – which has a playful feel, delicious food and a great variety of teas – is one of my very favorite places in New York City. That is why I’m so excited to share their vegan German chocolate cake recipe with you.

Best Vegan German Chocolate Cake Recipe

Earlier today, I was browsing around the cookbook section of a local book store when I realized that the restaurant had published a cookbook, Alice’s Tea Cup: Delectable Recipes for Scones, Cakes, Sandwiches, and More from New York’s Most Whimsical Tea Spot, back in October 2010.

As I looked through the “Table of Contents”, I noticed that the recipe for my (and my husband’s) favorite sandwich, the Curried Chicken Salad sandwich from Alice’s Tea Cup, was in there. (Yes!) Also, a Vegan German Chocolate Cake recipe stuck out to me, because several of my friends are now vegan and I know that a lot of people overall are starting to adopt that food lifestyle.

As soon as I came home, I emailed Morrow Cookbooks and asked for permission to share both recipes with you…and they said, “yes”. I’m not vegan, so I’m not going to attempt to make the cake. I have read great reviews about it though, so I am going to share it with you below.

I hope that you enjoy this recipe. If you make the cake, please come back and let me know how it turns out. ***Update: Please note that MitC readers who have prepared this cake have commented that the cake recipe is AMAZING. However, it seems like this recipe creates enough batter to make extra layers.***

Meanwhile, there are a variety of other wonderful recipes (the majority are not vegan) for scones, desserts, sandwiches and more in Alice’s Tea Cup: Delectable Recipes for Scones, Cakes, Sandwiches, and More from New York’s Most Whimsical Tea Spot.

If you found this recipe helpful, please share it. Thanks!
