Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 1.5 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract, unsweetened almond milk, and apple cider vinegar. Mix well.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir just until combined.
Add the vegetable oil and mix until the batter is smooth and without lumps. Be careful not to overmix.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans, smoothing the tops with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for about 10 minutes.
Turn the cakes out onto a wire rack to cool completely before frosting or serving.
Enjoy your delicious Vegan Classic Yellow Cake with your favorite vegan frosting or toppings.
