Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup plant-based butter, softened to room temperature
  • 1 1/4 cups sugar
  • 1/2 cup plant-based yogurt
  • 3/4 cup almond milk
  • 2 teaspoons natural vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Begin by measuring all ingredients carefully. Soften the plant-based butter to room temperature and preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the plant-based butter and sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy. This step introduces air for a tender crumb.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Mix in the plant-based yogurt, almond milk, and natural vanilla extract until fully combined, creating a smooth wet batter base for your pound cake.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and natural gelling agent. Gradually add this mix to your wet ingredients, folding gently to maintain airiness.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan and bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the pound cake cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Ensure plant-based butter and yogurt are at room temperature for smooth mixing and better texture.
  • Do not overmix once dry ingredients are added to keep the cake tender and airy.
  • Use fresh baking powder for perfect rising.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing to avoid crumbling.
  • Grease and line your pan properly to prevent sticking and maintain the cake’s shape.
