Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup plant-based butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 cup almond milk, at room temperature

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Pan and Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your loaf or bundt pan thoroughly to ensure easy release. Measure all ingredients beforehand for efficient mixing.
  2. Cream the Butter and Sugar: Beat the plant-based butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. This step is crucial for the cake’s tender crumb and smooth rise.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla (natural): Incorporate the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract (natural) to infuse the batter with warm, sweet aroma.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients Separately: In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour and baking powder, ensuring even distribution of the leavening.
  5. Alternate Adding Dry Ingredients and Almond Milk: Gradually add the flour mixture and almond milk alternately to the wet batter, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix gently to preserve tenderness.
  6. Pour and Bake: Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before removing it to a wire rack for slicing and serving to maintain perfect slices and texture.

Notes

  • Use eggs, plant-based butter, and almond milk at room temperature for better mixing and rise.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid a tough crumb.
  • Ensure baking powder is fresh for proper rise.
  • Use an oven thermometer for consistent baking temperature.
  • Cool completely before cutting for clean slices and enhanced flavor.
