Vegan Yellow Cake

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 175°C and spray two 8 or 9 inch cake pans with oil. I also like to place a circle of round parchment paper in the bottom to prevent the cakes from sticking to the pans.

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, turmeric and sugar together until well combined.

3. 3

   To the same bowl, pour in the oil, soy milk, apple cider vinegar and vanilla. Mix with the dry ingredients using a large spoon until just combined. Be careful not to over mix, or the cake won't be as soft. (You can also use a stand mixer with the whisk attachment.)

4. 4

   Divide the batter evenly between the cake pans and bake for 30-35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

5. 5

   Let the cakes cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then carefully pop them out and place on a cooling rack. You must allow the cakes to cool completely before frosting.

6. 6

   Once the cakes are cooled, frost with chocolate frosting as desired. Pipe additional frosting on top and add colorful sprinkles, if desired.

7. 7

   Serve and enjoy! The cake will keep at room temperature for 2-3 days, or up to 1 week in the refrigerator. It can also be frozen. Wrap or cover cut parts of the cake to avoid it drying out.
