Vegan Funnel Cake Recipe
The Vegan Funnel Cake Recipe is a fun and tasty treat loved by all ages. It’s crispy, golden and sprinkled with sweet powdered sugar.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup almond milk or any plant milk
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Oil for frying vegetable or canola
- Powdered sugar for topping
Instructions
Step 1: Make vegan buttermilk
- Mix almond milk with apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for 5 minutes. This creates a light texture.
Step 2: Combine dry ingredients
- In a large bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder and salt together.
Step 3: Add wet ingredients
- Pour in the vegan buttermilk and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth. The batter should be slightly thick but pourable.
Step 4: Heat the oil
- Pour oil into a deep pan, about 2 inches deep. Heat to 350°F (175°C).
Step 5: Fry the funnel cake
- Pour batter into a funnel or squeeze bottle. Swirl the batter into the hot oil in circles. Fry each side for 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
Step 6: Drain and cool
- Use tongs to remove the cake. Place on paper towels to drain extra oil.
Step 7: Serve and enjoy
- Dust with powdered sugar while warm. You can also add fruit, syrup, or vegan chocolate sauce.
Notes
- Make sure the oil is hot before frying.
- Don’t pour too much batter; keep the layers thin.
- Let the funnel cake cool slightly before adding sugar.
- Try using oat milk or soy milk for a richer flavor.
- Add cinnamon to the batter for extra warmth.
- Use a squeeze bottle for better control while pouring.
- Serve immediately for the crispiest texture.
