Description

This Vanilla Cake is a delightfully simple and irresistibly tasty plant-based dessert with a light texture and sweet, comforting aroma. Perfect for any celebration or a quiet moment at home, it uses natural flavorings and allergy-friendly ingredients to create a moist, tender cake that suits all occasions.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup natural sugar
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp natural gelling agent

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup plant-based milk (unsweetened)
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract (natural)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all your dry ingredients in one bowl: flour, natural sugar, baking powder, salt, and natural gelling agent. In a separate bowl, combine plant-based milk, vegetable oil, apple cider vinegar, and natural vanilla extract for the wet mixture.
  2. Combine and Mix: Slowly add the wet ingredients into the dry ones while whisking gently until smooth. Make sure no lumps remain but do not overmix, as that keeps the cake tender.
  3. Pour and Bake: Grease your cake pan lightly with vegetable oil, then pour in the batter evenly. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the center.
  4. Cool and Remove: Let your cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before carefully transferring it to a wire rack. Cooling fully ensures the cake holds its shape and texture beautifully.

Notes

  • Use plant-based milk and oil at room temperature for better texture.
  • Accurate ingredient measurements ensure optimal fluffiness and crumb.
  • Do not overmix to avoid a dense or chewy cake.
  • Maintain even oven heat using an oven thermometer for perfect rise.
  • Check the cake for doneness a few minutes before the end of baking time to avoid dryness.
