Vegan cake

We understand some people have dietary restrictions, but everyone deserves a treat! Our moist vanilla cake recipe can be enjoyed plain or dressed up and easily modified to meet your dietary needs. In this recipe sugar contributes to both flavor and texture. When sugar molecules meet water molecules, they form a strong bond. This union of sugar and water affects the texture of baked goods in two important ways: it keeps baked goods soft and moist.

  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients ½ cup at a time, with light mixing in between additions.
  5. Grease two 8 inch round cake tinswith non-stick spray and cover the bottom with parchment paper

  7. Bake for 40-50 minutes. Test with a toothpick every 5 minutes (after first 40 minutes) until it comes out clean.
  8. Move to a cooling rack to cool completely.

 

Make the frosting:

  1. Use an electric mixer to cream the butter for 1-2 minutes.
  2. Add the powdered sugar 1 cup at a time until you see stiff peaks.
  3. Add the vanilla and milk.
  4. At your discretion, add more powdered sugar if the frosting is too soft or more milk if too firm until it is smooth and creamy. The consistency must be thick enough that it doesn’t slide off the cake, but thin enough to be spreadable.
  5. Decorate as desired and enjoy!
