Vegan White Cake Recipe

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease & parchment line your cake pan(s)

Step 3

Combine the yogurt with the plant milk (or if just using plant milk) and extracts and set it aside.

Step 4

Combine the aquafaba with the cornstarch and whisk together so there are no lumps, it will get slightly frothy too, this is good.

Meanwhile sift the flour with the salt and baking powder and add 1/3 of that to the creamed mixture, blend just until combined then add half of the yogurt mixture

Step 7

Blend just until combined then add another 1/3 of the dry ingredients and then the remaining liquid and last the remaining dry ingredients.

Step 8

Be sure to scrape the sides & bottom of the bowl and whip it on high for 10 seconds to blend well.
