Equipment

Ingredients
 

  • 2 cups blanched almond flour (195 grams)
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (188 grams)
  • 1 cup sugar (200 grams)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt (omit if using salted vegan butter)
  • 1 cup plant milk (room temperature)
  • ⅓ cup melted vegan butter (room temperature)
  • 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Optional Toppings

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round pan or springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, if using.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the plant milk, room temperature melted vegan butter, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir just until the batter is smooth and well-combined. The batter should be thick but pourable.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few crumbs attached.
  • Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

  1. Measuring Tips: Use a scale for precise measurements or the spoon-and-level method for flour.
  2. Customizations: Feel free to flavor the cake with citrus zest, almond extract, or spices like cinnamon.
  3. Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
