Vegan Pound Cake
This vegan pound cake uses plant-based ingredients like vegan butter, brown sugar, flour, baking powder, soy milk, and apple cider vinegar to create a tender, moist loaf. The texture is similar to traditional pound cakes but without animal products. The optional powdered sugar topping adds a touch of sweetness and a light finish to the loaf.
