Nothing Bundt Cakes: What’s Vegetarian Editorial Review

Nothing Bundt Cakes is one of the easiest vegetarian menus around, since a bundt cake is built from flour, sugar, butter, and eggs, not meat. Every cake, Bundtlet, and Bundtini on the menu is meat-free by default, built around one moist, not-too-sweet cake style topped with a signature cream cheese frosting, so the real question here is vegan status, not vegetarian.

What to order at Nothing Bundt Cakes

Classic Vanilla, Chocolate Chocolate Chip, Red Velvet, Carrot, Lemon, Confetti, White Chocolate Raspberry, and Oreo Cookies & Cream are all vegetarian, and so are the Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookie and Gluten-Free Lemon Raspberry options. The seasonal S’mores flavor, made with Hershey’s, even has a confirmed gelatin-free marshmallow, which is a nice detail for anyone tracking that ingredient specifically rather than eggs or dairy.

What to watch out for

None of the standard flavors are vegan, since the base recipe leans on eggs and that signature cream cheese frosting for both flavor and moisture. Carrot and Pumpkin Spice only get close to dairy-free if you order them without icing, and even then the cake base itself still has eggs. The Signature Cream Cheese Frosting itself is vegetarian but not vegan too, so don’t expect a vegan option at the counter without a custom order, and don’t assume a fruit or nut flavor skips dairy just because it sounds lighter.
