Ingredients
  

Cake Batter
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 cup plant milk
  • 1/3 cup oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking powder
Frosting
  • 1/2 cup vegan butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking Pan
  • Oven
  • Whisk
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Mix dry ingredients until evenly combined and smooth.
  2. Add wet ingredients and whisk into a smooth batter.
  3. Pour into prepared pan and level the surface.
  4. Bake until top turns lightly golden and center sets.
  5. Cool completely, then frost evenly before serving.

Notes

Bake less for softer texture or slightly longer for firmer crumb. Cool fully before frosting. Freeze layers for easy assembly later. Add citrus zest or flavors if desired. Store covered at room temperature or refrigerate for longer freshness.
