This recipe pairs well with our Vegan Vanilla Buttercream!
Tip: Leave parchment paper at the bottom of the cakes so it doesn’t stick to the wire rack. Remove when icing the cake.
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F, and line three 6 inch round pans with parchment paper. Set aside.
-
In a large mixing bowl, sift in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar. Whisk to combine and break up any lumps.
-
In a separate bowl, combine the dairy-free milk and apple cider vinegar, whisk to combine and set aside for 10 minutes. This creates a vegan buttermilk.
-
In the meantime, add the dairy-free butter/ margarine into a saucepan, place on the stove over low heat and melt.
-
After 10 minutes, pour the melted butter and vanilla extract into the buttermilk and whisk to combine.
-
Pour the buttermilk, melted dairy-free butter, and vanilla extract into the dry and fold together until a smooth batter.
-
Divide the batter equally between the cake pans. Tap the pans on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
-
Place the cakes into the centre of the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick or skewer inserted down the centre comes out clean.
-
Once the cakes have fully baked, carefully remove them from the cake pans and place onto a wire rack to cool fully before icing.
Congratulations you did it!
