Say goodbye to cake mixes, eggs, and conventional butter, because you’ll never go back to store-bought with a recipe this good and this easy. Period. Full stop. You don’t need another recipe.

I’m serious. I’ve been baking vegan for over 7 years, and have been personally working on this recipe for 5 years to truly create a vanilla cake that is jaw-droopingly fluffy, moist, tender and “buttery” sweet, all while being unbelievably vegan.

The key, I’ve found is a few common ingredients (that yes, even non-vegans use!) and getting the ratios just. right. It’s so good, I’ve even used it for my friend’s wedding cake I made her!

Andddd created a  vegan vanilla cupcake recipe and sheet cake off of this recipe too 🙂

I literally dream about this cake (it’s actually going into my next cookbook!!).

You can use classic vegan vanilla buttercream or my easy vegan chocolate buttercream (which is next level delicious on this vegan chocolate cake).
