Vanilla Round Cake Instructions

  • Author Note: This recipe makes three 6-inch rounds, two 8-inch rounds, or one 10 inch round.
    Preheat the oven to 350. Grease your round cake pans with non-stick spray or vegan butter.
  • 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 but be careful not to over mix or the cake will become dense and not fluffy. Pour the batter into the cake pans.
  • Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until the cakes are golden and have risen completely through the center.
  • While the cakes are baking, use an electric hand mixer to mix together the icing ingredients. Cover and refrigerate the icing until you’re ready to frost your cake.
  • Once your cake is done baking, allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes in the cake pan. Then remove it from the pan and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Frost your cake and serve.

Notes

  1. Spray the cake pan or loaf pan well with non stick cooking spray and line with parchment paper to ensure that the cake doesn't stick!
  2. Nutrition information is calculated with Vegan Vanilla Icing, not Vegan Cream Cheese Frosting.
