Equipment

Ingredients

Vegan Buttermilk

  • 1 cup non-dairy milk
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cup all-purpose gluten-free flour
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons ground golden flaxseeds
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Vegan Butter softened (or semi-solid coconut oil)
  • 1 cup organic cane sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Vanilla Glaze

  • 1 1/2 cups organic powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon non-dairy milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract or any other flavor of choice

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350. Spray a loaf pan and line with parchment paper as demonstrated in the picture, so you can just lift the cake out when it is finished.

Prepare Vegan Buttermilk

  • Add non-dairy milk to a bowl, then add the lemon juice and give it a quick stir. It should curdle after a few seconds. Set aside.

Combine Dry Ingredients

  • Use a strainer or flour sifter and sift the gluten-free flour, cornstarch, ground flaxseeds, baking powder, and salt into a bowl. Whisk until the ingredients are fully combined.
  • Using a beater or stand mixer, beat butter until fluffy. Add sugar and beat until fully incorporated.
  • Add vegan buttermilk and vanilla extract, and beat until combined again.
  • Add in the dry mixture in batches, beating in between.
  • Add to loaf pan and place in the oven for 50-60 minutes, when an inserted toothpick or knife comes out clean. Cover with foil if the pound cake is brown after 45 minutes.
  • Let cool in the loaf pan for 30 minutes. Pull out pound cake using parchment paper, and place on a wire rack (preferably with paper towels or a kitchen towel underneath to catch any glaze that drips down).

Prepare The Glaze

  • In a bowl, whisk together the sugar, vanilla, and a small amount of liquid (such as milk or juice) until smooth. Continue whisking until the glaze reaches a smooth, pourable consistency, occasionally scraping down the sides of the bowl.
