Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup natural granulated sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup plant-based milk (room temperature)
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon natural apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and bring the plant-based milk to room temperature to ensure smooth batter mixing and prevent lumps, setting a stage for the perfect crumb.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and natural granulated sugar until well combined and rising agents are evenly distributed.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, stir together the plant-based milk, vegetable oil, natural vanilla extract, natural apple cider vinegar, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) until fully incorporated.
- Blend Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and gently fold with a spatula just until no dry flour remains. Avoid overmixing to maintain a light and airy texture.
- Bake to Perfection: Transfer the batter into a greased cake pan and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool slightly before removing from the pan.
Notes
- Use room temperature milk for seamless ingredients blending, preventing dense spots.
- Do not overmix; gentle folding preserves air bubbles for better rise and fluffiness.
- Use a kitchen scale for accurate ingredient measurements and consistent results.
- Ensure oven is fully preheated for even baking and avoid dry edges.
- If incorporating fruit or swirls, use a natural gelling agent to maintain consistency.
