Ingredients

Scale

Cake Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 cup plant-based milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract (natural)

Quick Caramel Frosting Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup plant-based butter
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup plant-based cream
  • 1 tsp natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cake Batter: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your cake pans. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and granulated sugar. Add the plant-based milk, vegetable oil, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract (natural). Mix until smooth and free of lumps to create a perfect batter texture.
  2. Bake the Cake Layers: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake layers to cool completely before frosting.
  3. Make the Quick Caramel Frosting: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the plant-based butter with brown sugar and plant-based cream. Stir continuously until the mixture thickens. Toward the end, sprinkle in the natural gelling agent and whisk until the frosting becomes smooth, spreadable, and holds its shape.
  4. Assemble the Cake: Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a generous amount of caramel frosting on top. Add the second layer and coat the entire cake with the remaining frosting for an indulgent finish.

Notes

  • Use room temperature plant-based milk and butter for smoother batter and frosting.
  • Divide batter evenly using a kitchen scale or measuring cups for uniform layers.
  • Ensure cake layers are completely cool before frosting to avoid melting.
  • Add the natural gelling agent carefully to avoid lumps and ensure smooth frosting.
  • Store the cake covered to keep moisture and freshness.
