Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 °F (180 °C). Line a 6-inch round cake pan with parchment paper. Spray the pan with cooking oil. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk all-purpose gluten-free flour, baking powder, almond flour, and sugar until all the dry ingredients are well combined.
Stir in almond milk, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract.
Whisk well until the batter is smooth. It should be thin and liquid, and no lumps of flour can be seen.
Fill the cake pan and bake it on the center rack for 25-35 minutes at 350 °F (180 °C) until a toothpick inserted in the cake comes out clean.
Let the cake cool down at room temperature in the pan for 5 minutes then on a cooling rack for an hour before frosting.
You can use this recipe to make layer cakes, double up the recipe and bake in two 6-inch pans then assemble the layer cake using my dairy-free frosting.

Notes

Note 1: I use a ready-made blend of Starch (maize, tapioca, potato), rice flour, and added xanthan Gum.

Note 2: Any plant-based milk works, like soy milk, coconut milk, or cashew milk.

Note 3: For a nut-free version, try sesame seed flour or sunflower seed flour. I don't recommend oat flour as the cake would be dry and dense.

Note 4: Any granulated sweetener works, including unrefined cane sugar like coconut sugar. For a sweeter cake, increase the sugar to 3/4 cup.

Note 5: Make sure you buy gluten-free certified baking powder.

Note 6: Lemon or lime juice works as well. The acidic ingredient makes the vegan, gluten-free cake fluffier. The recipe works without it, but the texture is a bit more packed and dense.
