Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the melted coconut oil and maple syrup, whisking until well mixed.
Add the vanilla extract, apple cider vinegar, and almond milk to the oil and syrup mixture. Whisk to combine.
Beat the eggs into the wet mixture until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar or serve with dairy-free cream if desired.
