Vegan Pound Cake
Description
The Vegan Pound Cake replaces traditional dairy and eggs with vegan butter and soy milk combined with apple cider vinegar to mimic buttermilk’s effect. Brown sugar lends richness and moisture while the flour and baking powder provide structure and leavening. Mixing the apple cider vinegar into the soy milk before combining with dry ingredients helps activate the baking powder for a lighter crumb.
Baked in a loaf pan for about an hour, the cake develops a gentle golden crust with a tender, soft interior. Letting it cool before removing prevents breakage, and dusting with powdered sugar offers a simple decorative touch. The cake serves well as a snack or dessert, pairing nicely with tea or coffee.
Storing the cake for up to five days keeps it fresh for several servings.
Ingredients
- ½ cup vegan butter or coconut oil
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tsp baking powder
- 1 cup soy milk or other plant based milk
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- powdered sugar optional, for topping
Instructions
- Pre heat the oven to 180 C / 350 F. Grease a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan.
- Mix the apple cider vinegar into the soy milk in a small bowl, and set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the vegan butter and brown sugar.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the flour and baking powder. Mix together.
- Combine the dry ingredients with the butter mixture and soy milk mixture. Fold together until you get a smooth batter.
