Ingredients

Scale

Cake Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup plant-based milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

Cream Cheese Swirl

  • 8 oz plant-based cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Swirl: Mix the plant-based cream cheese with granulated sugar, natural vanilla extract, and the natural gelling agent until smooth and creamy. Optionally, add vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) to enhance the flavor. Set aside.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to ensure even rising and a tender crumb.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix plant-based milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract (natural), apple cider vinegar, and vegetable oil until well combined to add moisture and activate leavening agents.
  4. Create the Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined to avoid overmixing. Carefully fold in fresh blueberries, distributing them evenly without breaking.
  5. Layer and Swirl: Pour half of the batter into a greased baking pan. Dollop half of the cream cheese mixture over the batter and use a knife to create swirls. Add the remaining batter and repeat with the remaining cream cheese mixture to form a marbled effect.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients to ensure a smooth batter and consistent texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter; fold gently to keep cake layers tender.
  • Lightly coat blueberries in flour before folding to prevent sinking or clumping during baking.
  • Check oven temperature with a thermometer to avoid overcooking.
  • Experiment with different swirling techniques to create unique cake patterns.
