Instructions
  1. Always be sure to gather all of your ingredients beforehand. Combine coconut milk and vinegar to give it the sour taste of buttermilk. Then add 3 tablespoons of whiskey, mix and set aside. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and spray a bundt pan, set aside.
  2. Cream together both sugars and butter until smooth.
  3. Next add 1 cup of pumpkin puree, plus one additional tablespoon of the same. Add vanilla extract and cream.
  4. Add cinnamon, all spice, and lemon zest and continue mixing until well incorporated. In a bowel mix salt, baking soda, baking powder and flour with a spoon. Add flour mix to creamed ingredients, and slowly begin to mix while adding milk. Mix until creamy.
  5. Once batter is ready, pour batter into bundt pan and bake for 60 minutes. Oven may vary by 5 minutes or more, so keep an eye on the cake.
  6. A few minutes before baking is completed make your glaze: melt batter in a small pan on medium to low heat, add brown sugar and continue to stir until sugar starts dissolving. Add whiskey and lavender extract so that the glaze will bubble, then stir in corn syrup. Cook for 1-2 minutes, continue to stir and turn off stove.
  7. Once the cake is ready, insert a toothpick in the cake and make sure its dry when you pull it out. If not it may need to bake longer. If dry then pull out of the oven and poke holes all over the top so that the glaze can seep in a bit. Next add half of the glaze and let cake cool for 30 minutes.
  8. After 30 minutes flip cake onto a serving plate or cake stand, and pour the remaining glaze on top of the cake. As with all upside down cakes the previous bottom then becomes the top of the cake, where there is usually a design. Sprinkle with vegan confectioners sugar and serve with homemade vegan cool whip, vegan ice cream or by itself. Tip: The other half of the glaze thickens up when waiting for cake to cool. To make it more liquid-like, just add water to glaze, stir and then place on stove to heat. Stir in cane sugar to dissolve, and pour glaze on top of cake like the directions state.
  9. Enjoy to all my vegans and non vegans alike! dust with confectioners sugar, top with vegan ice cream! It should be pretty delish and moist for everyone. Please rate and comment 🙂 Thanks, This African
