🍰 Fluffy & Delicious Dairy-Free Vanilla Cake

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups (190 g) all-purpose flour

• 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar

• 1 tsp baking soda

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened almond milk (or oat/soy milk)

• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar or lemon juice

• 1/3 cup (80 ml) neutral oil (like canola, vegetable, or sunflower)

• 1 tbsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8-inch round or square cake pan with parchment paper.

2. Mix wet ingredients:

   • In a small bowl, combine plant-based milk and vinegar. Let sit for 5 minutes to curdle (this creates a dairy-free “buttermilk”).

3. Mix dry ingredients:

   • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt.

4. Combine:

   • Add oil and vanilla to the milk mixture, then pour into the dry ingredients.

   • Whisk until smooth, but don’t overmix.

5. Bake:

   • Pour into the prepared pan. Bake for 28–32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

6. Cool completely before frosting or serving.

🌱 Optional Dairy-Free Frosting:

Whip 1/2 cup dairy-free margarine (or coconut cream) with 2 cups powdered sugar, 1 tsp vanilla, and 1–2 tbsp plant milk until fluffy.
