Ingredients:

For the Cake:

– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 tsp baking soda
– 1/2 tsp baking powder
– 1/4 tsp salt
– 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any non-dairy milk)
– 1/2 cup vegetable oil
– 2 tsp vanilla extract
– 1 tbsp white or apple cider vinegar

For the Vegan Vanilla Frosting:
– 1/2 cup dairy-free butter (room temperature)
– 2 cups powdered sugar
– 2 tsp vanilla extract
– 2-3 tbsp almond milk (or any non-dairy milk)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix until well combined.

3. Combine Wet Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and white vinegar.

4. Mix Batter:
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until the batter is smooth. Avoid overmixing; just mix until everything is combined.

5. Bake:
Divide the cake batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

6. Cool:
Let the cakes cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

7. Prepare Frosting:
In a mixing bowl, beat the dairy-free butter until creamy. Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and almond milk. Beat until the frosting is smooth and fluffy.

8. Assemble the Cake:
Once the cakes are completely cool, spread a layer of frosting on top of one cake layer. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides of the entire cake.
