Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 cup and 2 tbsp sugar
- 2 tbsp oil (organic canola, vegetable oil, etc.)
- 3/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 tsp almond extract
- 1 1/4 cups and 2 tbsp milk dairy or dairy free
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Grease and set aside a square 8x8 inch baking pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, add all the dry ingredients (flour - sugar). Combine thoroughly or sift together to make sure there’s no large lumps.
- Add in the wet ingredients (butter - milk). Don’t over-mix - just combine the batter till it’s mostly smooth. The batter shouldn’t contain any large lumps. Just a few smallish ones - which is completely normal.
- Add the batter to the greased baking pan, and bake from 32-34 minutes. Make sure you test with a toothpick also..*Let the cake cool before frosting it*
- Vanilla Almond Frosting:To a large bowl add 1 cup + 1 tbsp powdered sugar, 1/4 tsp almond extract, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, 2 tbsp softened butter, and 1/2 tbsp + 1 tsp milk. *As with the cake, you can choose to use non-dairy or regular milk and butter*Beat on medium-high with a hand mixer for 2-3 minutes until very smooth. If necessary, add another 1/2 tsp milk.*Note: You can always double the ingredients if you’d like more frosting for the cake*
