Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to create this mouthwatering vegan treat:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Buttercream Frosting Ingredients
For that creamy, dreamy frosting:
- 1 cup vegan butter, softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons almond milk (or any non-dairy milk)
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
Now, let’s get baking! Follow these simple steps to create your masterpiece:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, mix the almond milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar until combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until smooth – don’t overmix!
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
- While the cakes are cooling, prepare your buttercream frosting. Beat the vegan butter until creamy, then gradually add the powdered sugar, almond milk, and vanilla until you reach a smooth, fluffy consistency.
- Once the cakes are completely cool, spread a layer of frosting on top of one cake, and place the second cake on top. Frost the top and sides of the entire cake.
- Decorate as desired, maybe with some fresh fruit or sprinkles, and enjoy!
Now you’re ready to impress your family and friends with this scrumptious vegan vanilla cake. It’s a perfect way to keep the good vibes flowing, one slice at a time. Enjoy!
