Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Line 9" pans with parchment paper and grease the pans.
    *We use these 9" pans (see post for details if you don't have these)
  • In one bowl, cream together butter and sugar until pale and fluffy (approximately 2-3 minutes). Scrap down the sides and bottom with a spatula.
  • Add the dairy free milk, apple cider vinegar, melted coconut oil, and extracts. Beat together. Scrap down the sides.
  • In another bowl, sift together the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda. 
  • Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in 3-4 parts combining just until mixed each time. Do not overmix. Fold in sprinkles.
  •  Pour in each prepared cake pan until approximately ½ way full.
  • Bake for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. 
    *If using 3 pans, check for doneness around 33-35 minutes.
  • *While cake is baking, choose a frosting to make. Store in fridge until cake is cooled completely. Spread frosting across the layers.
    *Note: We tripled the frosting to make this cake with a crumb layer and the piping.
