Ingredients¶

360 g cake flour
12 g baking powder
3 g salt
284 g unsweetened soy milk
2 tsp apple cider vinegar
120 g aquafaba
0.25 tsp cream of tartar
113 g vegan butter
110 g canola oil
297 g sugar
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
some Vegan Buttercream Frosting
some vegan friendly sprinkles

Cookware¶

1 medium bowl
1 glass measuring cup
1 small bowl
1 large bowl
1 cooling rack

Instructions¶

Step 1¶

Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease two 8-inch round cake pans with oil or vegan butter. Place a round of parchment paper on the bottom of each pan for easy removal later.

Step 2¶

Whisk together cake flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.

Step 3¶

Combine unsweetened soy milk and apple cider vinegar in a glass measuring cup and set aside to curdle into vegan buttermilk.

Step 4¶

Whisk together aquafaba and cream of tartar vigorously in a small bowl until fluffy and foamy, about 2 minutes. Set aside.

Step 5¶

In a large bowl, cream together softened vegan butter, canola oil, and sugar using a stand or hand mixer until creamy, about 3 minutes.

Step 6¶

Add the aquafaba mixture and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture and mix until combined, about 1 minute.

Step 7¶

Alternate adding the flour mixture and curdled soy milk buttermilk to the batter in 3 parts, mixing until just combined.

Step 8¶

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 9¶

Allow to cool in the pans for 15 minutes, then carefully invert them onto a cooling rack to cool completely before frosting with Vegan Buttercream Frosting (optional, decorate with vegan friendly sprinkles).
