I love making these small cakes. I've also topped this cake with a simple powdered sugar icing.
Yield: 1 8-inch round cake
Ingredients
Cake:
1 cup non-dairy milk
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup canola oil
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract
Frosting:
~ or ~
1/2 cup powdered sugar + 1 tablespoon non-dairy milk + splash of vanilla
Method
Preheat oven to 350°F and line bottom of 8-inch cake pan with parchment paper.
Whisk the milk and vinegar in a measuring cup and set aside a few minutes to curdle.
Put the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl and whisk to mix up.
Beat together the milk mixture, oil, sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl. Add in flour mixture. Mix until no large lumps remain.
Pour batter into pan. Bake for 30 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Let cool. Then frost.
