Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour (with xanthan gum if not included)
- 1.5 cups Coconut sugar
- 1 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1.5 cups Dairy-free milk (such as oat, rice, or almond milk substitute)
- 0.5 cup Neutral vegetable oil (e.g., sunflower or grapeseed)
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Water
- 2 cups Dairy-free frosting of choice (store-bought or homemade)
- 0.5 cup Sprinkles or decorations (allergen-free, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease two 9-inch round cake pans, then line the bottoms with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, mix the applesauce, dairy-free milk, vegetable oil, water, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or whisk until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be smooth and lump-free.
Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans, spreading it out to ensure an even layer in each pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of each cake comes out clean.
Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, carefully turn them out onto a wire rack to cool completely before assembling.
Once the cakes are fully cooled, place one layer on a serving plate or cake stand. Spread a generous amount (approximately 1 cup) of dairy-free frosting evenly over the top.
Place the second cake layer on top and spread the remaining frosting evenly over the top and sides of the cake.
Decorate the top of the cake with allergen-free sprinkles or decorations of your choice.
Slice and serve to enjoy this allergen-free birthday cake with friends and family!
