Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup plant-based butter, softened
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup almond milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla natural extract
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Measure all ingredients and bring the plant-based butter and almond milk to room temperature to ensure smooth and uniform batter.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the plant-based butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, incorporating air for a tender texture.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the almond milk, vanilla natural extract, and apple cider vinegar gently to keep the batter airy.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients Separately: Whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and natural gelling agent in another bowl to prevent clumps and distribute leavening evenly.
  5. Alternate Adding Dry and Wet Mixtures: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture in portions, stirring gently after each addition to maintain fluffiness.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to set.

Notes

  • Use room-temperature plant-based butter and almond milk for even mixing.
  • Mix ingredients just until combined to avoid a dense cake.
  • Check oven temperature with a thermometer for consistent baking.
  • Choose high-quality natural extracts for enhanced flavor.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing to keep it moist and maintain shape.
