How To Make This Gluten-Free Vegan Cake?

Everybody loves this Vegan Vanilla Layer Cake recipe, so you won’t have to look for another one. It’s simple to make and delightful to eat. It’s rich, fluffy, and just sweet enough, like a non-vegan vanilla cake.

This gluten-free, vegan cake is quicken and easy to make. You need the following ingredients:

Ingredients

For the cake

• 1 ½ cups gluten-free flour
• 1 ½ cups almond flour
• 1 ½ cups cane sugar
• ½ cup potato starch
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 cups almond milk
• ½ cup avocado oil or other neutral-tasting oil
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• Fresh berries (blackberries, raspberries, cherries, pomegranate arils)

For vegan frosting

• 2 cups powdered sugar
• ¼ cup vegan cream cheese
• 1 tablespoon vegan butter
• 1 tablespoon almond milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• ½ teaspoon almond extract

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line an 8-inch cake pan with parchment paper and lightly spray or brush with oil. Set aside.
2. Add gluten-free flour, almond flour, potato starch, baking powder, salt, and mix well in a large bowl.
3. Using a handheld mixer, add almond milk, avocado oil, vanilla, and mix until the batter is smooth.
4. Divide the batter into two layers and bake for 35 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.
5. Meanwhile, prepare the frosting while the cake is baking.
6. Allow cake to sit in the baking pan for 5 minutes, remove from the pan and rest on a cooling rack until it is completely cooled.

Vegan Frosting

1. To prepare the vegan frosting, add all ingredients to a bowl, and using a handheld mixer, process the cream until light and fluffy. Transfer to the refrigerator until stiff.

To Assemble

1. Spread frosting on top of the first cake, then add some of the berries.
2. Add the top cake layer with the remaining frosting. Decorate with the remaining fruits.
3. Serve and enjoy!

Variations

• Any sort of oil can be used: coconut oil, olive oil, or vegetable oil.
• Coconut milk, soy milk, rice milk, oat milk, cashew milk, and other plant-based milk can all be used.
• If you don’t have any dietary restrictions, you can use regular flour in place of gluten-free flour.
• You can also use coconut whipped cream for the frosting, homemade, or store-bought.
• You can use your favorite frostings like chocolate, buttercream, candies, fruits, marshmallow, or sugar paste.

Tips for Storage

The cake can be stored at room temperature for 2 or 3 days. You can refrigerate it for up to a week after cooling it at room temperature.

It’s also possible to freeze this cake. It stays well in the freezer for up to a month if they are properly packed and stored. Allow them to thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving the following day!

Recipe Note

• It is critical to use blanched almond flour that is superfine, as this is what gives the cake its moist, light, and fluffy texture. You can use any of the good brands. Like King Arthur, Wellbees, Honeyville, Nature’s Eats, and Heb brand (in TX) all work great.
• Ensure your oven is set to the correct temperature for baking, as an over-baked cake will be dry and brittle. To ensure accuracy, use an oven thermometer.
• Don’t use butter instead of oil. We recommend using avocado oil for this vanilla cake recipe, which provides the best flavor while maintaining a soft fluffiness. Using butter will most likely result in a dense and dry cake. However, you can easily replace the avocado oil with another mild oil like vegetable, safflower, or grapeseed oil.
• Make sure the batter isn’t overmixed. When all of the ingredients are mixed, stop mixing.
• Before frosting your vegan cake, make sure it has totally cooled. If it’s even somewhat heated, the frosting will most likely melt.
• It is preferable to keep things small. Making cakes that are 6-8 inches in diameter or less is always a good idea. I’ve discovered that baking a smaller cake produces a better result.
• Substitute the Homemade vegan frosting with 2 tubs of storebought or homemade coconut whipped cream.
