Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 cup organic cane sugar
- 1 tsp natural gelling agent
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup plant-based milk
- 1/3 cup neutral oil
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 2 tsp natural vanilla extract (natural)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients and Pan: Gather all your ingredients at room temperature for smooth mixing. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your cake pan with neutral oil, then lightly dust with flour for easy removal.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, organic cane sugar, and natural gelling agent until evenly combined. This ensures your cake rises evenly and has a balanced sweetness.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, stir together plant-based milk, neutral oil, apple cider vinegar, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and natural vanilla extract (natural). Mixing these first helps infuse moisture and flavor perfectly.
- Blend Wet and Dry Ingredients: Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients while gently folding with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep your cake tender and light.
- Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let it cool slightly before removing from the pan to a wire rack.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients for smooth batter and even baking.
- Measure flour by spoon and level method to avoid dense texture.
- Avoid overmixing to maintain fluffiness.
- Use fresh natural vanilla extract for enhanced flavor.
- Test doneness a few minutes before baking time ends to prevent overbaking.
