Dawn Foods Launches 1st Vegan Certified Sponge Cake Mix

Dawn Foods, a global leader in bakery manufacturing and distribution, announced the launch of a vegan sponge cake mix. The Dawn Balance Vegan Sponge Cake Mix is V-label certified, in alignment with the rest of the Dawn vegan range, and provides the same functionality, texture and taste experience as a regular sponge cake mix. 

Sponge cakes are very light and airy types of cakes. The challenge in making a good vegan sponge is the high amount of eggs used (approximately 40%) to get that typical soft, light, fluffy and airy texture. Dawn’s R&D team used their development experience gained from the successful Vegan American Mixes in the company’s portfolio and developed a Vegan Sponge Cake mix with good batter structure and aeration, like any normal sponge, but without the eggs. 

“We are proud to now offer the possibility to create vegan sponge cakes and swiss rolls, without compromising on taste or functionality”, said Marie Frigo, Category Marketing Manager, Dry Ingredients, for Dawn Foods Europe & AMEAP. “Interest in veganism has witnessed rapid growth over recent years and as consumer demand continues to increase, vegan sweet bakery products are becoming a ‘must have’ in the bakery industry. This sponge cake mix is a great addition to our existing vegan ingredient portfolio.”

Dawn’s complete vegan bakery ingredients range includes a newly added vegan cake donut mix, fillings, like the new Dawn Balance Delicream Caramel, and naturally vegan fruit fillings.
