Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup plant-based butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup plant-based yogurt, at room temperature
  • 3 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons natural baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather and measure all ingredients precisely. Soften the plant-based butter and bring eggs and yogurt to room temperature to ensure even mixing.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: Beat the softened plant-based butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, incorporating air to help the cake rise.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the natural vanilla extract for a warm aroma.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, natural baking powder, salt, and natural gelling agent to ensure even distribution.
  5. Alternate Adding Dry Ingredients and Yogurt: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in batches, alternating with the plant-based yogurt, mixing until just combined to maintain a smooth batter.
  6. Pour Batter and Bake: Transfer the batter into a greased and floured loaf pan or lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool before slicing.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for better emulsification and uniform baking.
  • Avoid overmixing to prevent a dense and tough cake.
  • Ensure baking powder is fresh for optimal rise and fluffiness.
  • Properly grease and flour the pan or use parchment to prevent sticking.
  • Check the oven temperature with a thermometer to ensure consistent heat.
