Vegan Cake Class: Learn how to make a Momofuku cake!
Momofuku cakes are widely admired for their flavor complexity, creative ingredients, and fun, playful aesthetic. Join cooking instructor, Monika, in learning how to make a vegan version of this viral sensation, and enjoy a slice at the conclusion of the class! This class will be an interactive demonstration held at the Pacifica Community Kitchen in Carrboro, NC.
A Momofuku cake is a unique style of layer cake popularized by Milk Bar, a dessert shop founded by Christina Tosi under the Momofuku restaurant group. These cakes are known for their distinctive flavor combinations, textures, and signature "naked" appearance—meaning they have no outer layer of frosting, so the colorful layers and fillings are fully visible. Some iconic flavors include Birthday Cake (reminiscent of a funfetti cake), Crack Pie Cake (now called Milk Bar Pie, with a buttery, oat-cookie base and caramelized filling), and Chocolate Malt Cake.
