Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with oil or line with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together to ensure they are well mixed.
In a separate bowl or a large measuring jug, mix the almond milk with the apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to curdle and create a vegan 'buttermilk'.
Add the vanilla extract and vegetable oil to the 'buttermilk' mixture. Stir until well combined.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or spoon until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix, as this can result in a dense cake.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing out the top with a spatula to ensure even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, slice and enjoy your Vegan Classic Vanilla Loaf Cake.
