    These Christmas tree cakes are a delicious homemade version of the Little Debbie Christmas tree cakes! I used to love when I got one of these in my lunch during the holiday season, they were the best. I decided I needed to try making a version that fit my dietary restrictions. These are gluten-free, dairy-free, and taste absolutely delicious!

    Prep Time 10 minutes mins
    Servings: 10 cakes
    Course: cake, Dessert
    Cuisine: American
    Ingredients Method

    Ingredients
      

    • 1 package gluten-free/dairy-free chocolate cake mix of choice I used a paleo chocolate cake mix from Bob's Redmill
    • ¼ cup non-dairy vanilla frosting I have a recipe on my website you can use!
    • ¾ cup non-dairy white chocolate chips
    • 2 teaspoon coconut oil
    • red frosting for decoration
    • green sprinkles for decoration

    Method
     

    1. Prepare your chocolate cake according to the package and bake in a large sheet cake pan. Let cool before using a christmas tree cookie cutter to cut out as many christmas trees as you can fit. I got about 20 out of my cake, which made 10 cakes total.
    2. Use your frosting to sandwich together 2 Christmas trees to create the cakes. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet and freeze for about 1 hour.
    3. Melt together the white chocolate and coconut oil until smooth. Coat each tree in the white chocolate and top with sprinkles. Let harden before decorating with the red frosting. Enjoy!

      Hi. I've tried finding your non-dairy vanilla frosting recipe to go with these christmas tree dupes and I can't find it anywhere. Can you please link it or point me in the right direction?

        Hi Noelle, I'm not the blogger but I was also looking for this, and I think the reason we couldn't find it easily is because it is part of a cupcake recipe. This recipe page includes directions for a vegan buttercream and I think this must be what she was referring to. Hope this helps! 🙂

          These look so cute! What red gel icing and sprinkles do you use?
