Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup plant-based butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 flax eggs (3 tablespoons ground flaxseed mixed with 9 tablespoons water, set to thicken)
  • 3/4 cup almond milk
  • 1/2 cup plant-based yogurt
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (natural)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients and Pan: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan generously with plant-based butter and lightly dust with flour to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together your all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and natural gelling agent. This ensures your dry ingredients are light and evenly distributed.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: Using an electric mixer, beat the plant-based butter and sugar until fluffy and pale. This step introduces air for a light crumb and perfect texture in your Pound Cake.
  4. Add Wet Ingredients: Slowly incorporate your flax eggs, almond milk, plant-based yogurt, and vanilla extract (natural) to the creamed mixture, mixing gently after each addition. This combination brings moisture and depth of flavor.
  5. Combine Ingredients: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Overmixing can make the cake dense, so be gentle for the best results.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and bake for about 50-60 minutes. Test doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean. Allow the cake to cool before removing from the pan.

Notes

  • Ensure butter, almond milk, and plant-based yogurt are at room temperature for smooth, even mixing.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid a tough texture.
  • Measure flour correctly by spooning into the measuring cup and leveling off for accuracy.
  • Use fresh baking powder to ensure proper rise.
  • Allow cake to cool completely before slicing to set the crumb and ease cutting.
