Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 150 grams cane sugar
- 240 milliliters non-dairy milk
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 60 milliliters vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon cardamom powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
In a bowl, whisk together the non-dairy milk and apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for 5 minutes to create a vegan buttermilk.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cardamom powder, and salt.
In another bowl, beat together the sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the sugar mixture alternately with the vegan buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, slice the cake into 1-inch wide strips. Lay the strips on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Reduce the oven temperature to 150°C (300°F) and bake the slices for an additional 12-15 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crisp.
Let the cake rusks cool completely before storing them in an airtight container.
