Ingredients
Vanilla Cake
1 3/4 cup Instant Baking Mix
1 cup white sugar
1 cup vegan milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar or apple cider vinegar
Frosting
3 1/4 cups powdered sugar
3 tablespoons vegan butter or coconut oil
4 tablespoons vegan milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 °F. Oil two 7-inch pans and set aside.
*Alternatively, you can use a 9-inch round cake pan or 9x13 rectangle pan for a single layer cake (bake for 30 min.) or 12 cupcakes (bake for 20-25 min.).
Step 2
Prepare the cake:
In a large bowl, combine the Instant Baking Mix and sugar and mix or sift to ensure no clumps.
Add in the vegan milk, vanilla, and vinegar and whisk until combined. DO NOT OVERMIX! This is key to ensuring the cake doesn't fall.
Divide batter evenly between your pans and cook for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick or knife comes out of the center clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 3
Prepare frosting:
Add the powdered sugar, vegan butter, half the vegan milk and vanilla extract to a mixing bowl.
Using an electric mixer, start at low speed and gradually increase the speed as you slowly add in the rest of the milk.
* Tip: if your frosting is too thin, add a bit more powdered sugar and if too thick, add a bit more
plant-based milk.
Step 4
Once your cake is completely cool, add the frosting (and any toppings you chose) and ENJOY!
