Whole-food, Plant-Based Ingredients
Whole foods are natural, unprocessed or minimally processed ingredients that remain as close to their original form as possible.
How We Formulate Each Cake
At Cake Botanica, we use whole plant-based foods such as fresh fruits, nuts, seeds, oats, cocoa, tea and natural sweeteners to create our cakes from scratch.
We do not rely on ready-made vegan creams, manufactured butters and jams, refined sugars or highly formulated substitutes.
We make our own creams, butters, compotes and nut milks from the natural, whole ingredients themselves — creating authentic plant-based botanical cakes from scratch.
This approach allows the natural character of each ingredient to contribute to the flavour, texture and character of our cakes.
It is simply how we choose to create: plant-based from the ground up, with whole foods at the heart of every recipe.
