Instructions
Vegan Yellow Cake with Chocolate Frosting
- Preheat oven to 375
- In a large mixing bowl, use a fork or whisk to mix the almond milk, melted vegan butter, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and vanilla extract together. Mix in the flour until well combined, be careful not to over mix.
- Pour the batter into a greased metal loaf pan or round metal cake pan. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until golden on top. Test the center with a toothpick to make sure it comes out clean. Be careful not to over-bake.
- Depending on how hot your oven is, your cake may brown more quickly on the top. Check the cake when it’s baked halfway. If it is browning more quickly, simply place a layer of parchment paper or foil over the top and continue to bake until completely risen.
Vegan Chocolate Buttercream Frosting
- In a large bowl, use an electric hand mixer to mix the powdered sugar, softened vegan butter, almond milk, cocoa powder, and vanilla. Add a splash more almond milk for a thinner icing consistency. Add more cocoa powder for a more intense chocolate flavor.
- Allow the cake to cool and spread the frosting over the cake to serve. Option to top with rainbow sprinkles!
