Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar (packed)
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round or square baking pan, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the milk and apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for 5 minutes to curdle and form a homemade buttermilk substitute.
Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the buttermilk mixture. Whisk until smooth and fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Use a spatula or whisk to gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking 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 transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Optionally, dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar or frost it with your favorite cream cheese or vanilla frosting.
