Easy Vegan White Cake Recipe

Easy Vegan White Cake Recipe for all your cake creations!

 

recently I realized that my original recipe for Vegan White Cake 

is a bit advanced as far as the mix method that not everyone is keen on trying!
It requires an electric mixer and also aquafaba which not everyone loves!

Introducing my newest recipe for Easy Vegan White Cake!

No mixers required
No egg replacers or aquafaba!
Just one bowl and all the ingredients you already have!

Classic Coconut Layer Cake

Bakes into layers, bundts, sheets, cupcakes and even loaves!

Vanilla Pound Cake

No affiliation with any product or company mentioned 

Notes for Success

Cake flour is a bleached flour and what will help keep this recipe white versus a slightly darker all purpose flour
Not to mention cake flour absorbs less liquids from a a recipe than all purpose flout keeping these cupcakes moist & fluffy! 

Many people do not have access to cake flour in which case you may sub in all purpose flour
Take out 2 Tbs from the total recipe weight listed below

Clear vanilla extract will ensure the batter stays white 
However using a vanilla plant milk will also boost vanilla flavor

Prep Time 15 minutes mins
Cook Time 25 minutes mins
Total Time 40 minutes mins

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups Cake Flour 360g
  • 1½ cups Granulated Sugar 300g
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • 1½ cup Plant Milk 354ml
  • ⅔ cup Vegetable Oil 160ml
  • 1 Tbs White Vinegar 15ml
  • 2 teaspoon Clear Vanilla Extract 10ml

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350℉ & prepare your cake pans with grease & parchment lining
  • In a large mixing bowl combine the flour, sugar, baking soda & salt & whisk to distribute evenly
  • In a large measuring cup combine the plant milk, extract, vinegar & oil
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients & whisk to a smooth batter
  • Portion the batter evenly into your cake pan(s) & bake for approximately 18-22 minutes to determine how much longer they need to bake, but I like to always check every size at 18 minutes. The cakes are done when they are springy to the touch when you gently press the centers
  • Cool completely before serving or using in your cake creations

Notes

Be sure to read all the notes for success section above the recipe 
Storage Depends on your filling and/or icing whether to refrigerate or not & how long to store. Plain white cake layers can be frozen for up to 1 month
