INGREDIENTS
Funfetti Cake:
1 cup Califia Farms Unsweetened Almondmilk3 cups All-purpose flour
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1 1/2 cups organic cane sugar
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
½ cup vegan butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup vegan sprinkles
Vanilla Buttercream Frosting:
2 Tablespoons Califia Farms Unsweetened Almondmilk4-5 cups powdered sugar
1 cup vegan butter, softened at room temp.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
pinch of sea salt
Topping:
Vegan rainbow sprinklesMETHOD
Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease OR line with parchment paper an 8-inch square pan (for a thicker cake) or a 9 x 13 baking pan.
In a large bowl, add the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, sugar and sea salt, whisking together until well combined.
Add in the Almondmilk, apple cider vinegar, melted butter, and vanilla, mixing together using a rubber spatula until well combined and lump-free. Fold in vegan sprinkles.
Pour batter evenly into prepared pan, spreading everything around for a perfect evenness.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the center of the cake comes out clean using a toothpick or butter knife.
Once done, remove cake from the oven and let cool completely before frosting.
To Make Vanilla Buttercream Frosting:
In a large bowl, add the softened vegan butter and beat until light and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes. Add in the powdered sugar, vanilla, sea salt, and Almondmilk together, beating until creamy and fluffy.
**NOTE: If buttercream is too 'runny', add additional powdered sugar (1 Tablespoon at a time); if too thick, add additional milk (1 Tablespoon at a time).**
Using a spatula, top cooled cake with buttercream and gently spread over the top until fully coated and even. Top with vegan sprinkles and wallah!
Slice into squares and enjoy!
