Equipment
- Mixing bowls (large and small)
- Whisk
- Spatula
- 8-inch round cake pan
- Parchment paper
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce or vegetable oil for a richer cake
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup milk dairy or non-dairy
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar or lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat and Prep:
- First things first, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour your 8-inch cake pan, or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
Whisk the Dry Ingredients:
- In your large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Combine the Wet Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the applesauce (or oil), vanilla extract, milk, and vinegar/lemon juice. Make sure everything is well combined.
Unite Wet and Dry:
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk gently until just combined. Don’t over mix! A few lumps are perfectly fine.
Bake to Perfection:
- Pour the batter into your prepared cake pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
Cool and Enjoy:
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting or serving. Slice, grab a fork, and savor your delicious butter-free creation!
