  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

  3. Add the almond milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined.
  4. Pour in the boiling water and mix again until the batter is smooth and evenly combined.
  5. Stir in the apple cider vinegar, making sure it is well incorporated into the batter.
  6. Divide the batter equally between the prepared cake pans.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
  8. Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, transfer the cakes to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Once the cakes are cool, you can frost them with your favorite vegan frosting or enjoy them as is!
