Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp natural gelling agent

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup plant-based butter, softened
  • 1 1/4 cups sugar
  • 1/4 cup plant-based eggs substitute
  • 1/2 cup almond milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (natural)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Measure all ingredients carefully. Allow the plant-based butter and almond milk to come to room temperature for easier mixing and better cake texture.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: Using a stand or hand mixer, cream the plant-based butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This incorporates air for a soft crumb.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Gradually mix in the plant-based eggs substitute and vanilla extract (natural). Alternate adding almond milk and the flour mixture to maintain a smooth, lump-free batter.
  4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and natural gelling agent. Slowly fold these dry ingredients into the wet mixture gently to combine without overmixing.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients to ensure even mixing and better texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the cake tender and moist.
  • Grease your pan thoroughly to prevent sticking and help easy release.
  • Check for doneness with a toothpick starting at 50 minutes to avoid overbaking.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing for firm and neat slices.
