Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir well to combine the dry ingredients evenly.
In a separate bowl, mix the almond milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar. Stir until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a whisk or spatula. Be careful not to overmix the batter; mix just until the ingredients are combined to ensure a light and fluffy texture.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then carefully remove the cake from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cake has cooled, it is ready to be served. Decorate with powdered sugar, vegan frosting, or fresh fruit if desired.
