Ingredients
  

For the Easy One Bowl White Cake Recipe:

  • 1¾ cup Vanilla Plant Milk 1¾ cup 414ml
  • 2 teaspoons Vinegar 2 teaspoons
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Extract 1 teaspoons 5ml
  • 3¾ cups All Purpose Flour 3 ¾ cup 469g

  • 1½ teaspoons Salt 1½ teaspoons
  • 18 Tbs Vegetable Oil 18 Tablespoons 270ml
  • ½ cup Vegan Sprinkles ½ cup

or use the box cake hack!

for the icing

Instructions
 

  • If you are making the box cake hack recipe you will follow the instructions for yellow cake but instead substitute in the white cake box mix
  • Preheat the oven to 350℉ then grease & parchment 3-7" cake pans
  • For the scratch white cake recipe as listed above~ first add the vinegar to the plant milk & then add the vanilla extract
  • For the egg replacer I typically do not reconstitute it as the packaging will advise, but rather add it to the dry ingredients (unless I am using flax meal then I reconstitute with some liquid from the recipe)
  • Next place all of the cake ingredients except for the sprinkles into a large mixing bowl with a hand whisk combine everything & whisk smooth, approximately 50 strokes to develop the batter
  • Add in the sprinkles, folding to combine well
  • Pour batter evenly amongst the prepared cake pans
  • Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Cool the cakes in the pans until you can safely flip them onto a cooling rack to cool to cold
  • Refrigerate while you prepare the buttercream recipe according to the directions on that recipe post
  • See video tutorial for comparing the Betty Crocker canned icing vs the homemade buttercream for the drip effect & decide which way you prefer
  • Add food color to approximately ½ cup of whatever icing you are using then heat in the microwave for just 10 seconds until it is pour able consistency
  • The Betty Crocker canned icing was perfect at 10 seconds, however if you watched the video you will see the homemade buttercream icing needed a few seconds more *be careful not to melt it!
