This vegan vanilla birthday cake is absolutely delicious! This is an easy recipe that everyone in your home will love!
Preheat oven to 375
In a large mixing bowl, mix the almond or oat milk, melted butter, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and vanilla. Then, mix in the flour. Option to add 2 tbsp of sprinkles to the batter (funfetti style) or wait and add them on top of the frosting. Pour the batter into a 9 inch loaf pan or 8 inch round pan with the batter.
Bake for about 45 minutes or until the cake is golden if baking in a loaf form. If baking in a round pan, you will wake to bake the cake for less time. I recommend starting with 30 minutes and adding on more time if needed.
While the cake is baking, use an electric hand mixer to mix together the icing ingredients. Spread it over the loaf while it's warm OR allow the loaf to cool and then spread the icing. Either way... it's delicious! Top with sprinkles and enjoy!

Posted on: September 2, 2020Do I still need to add xanthum gum if I am making it a gluten free cake?

Posted on: September 2, 2020do I need to keep the cake/ frosting refrigerated if I am serving the next day? Thank you!

Posted on: September 2, 2020Hi Nicolette! The fridge tends to dry out baked goods so I would recommend leaving this on the countertop in an airtight container. I usually wait to frost it until just before serving but since the frosting doesn’t have dairy – it will be fine left at room temp.
