Ingredients:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 2 \u2154 cups Organic All Purpose Flour (330g) or you can experiment with gluten- free flours substitutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 1 1\/4 cups Organic White Granulated Sugar (300g) OR you can experiment with using applesauce instead, at a 1 to one ratio. So 1 \u00bc cups applesauce. You may find that you need to adjust this amount. You could also use the same amount of coconut sugar if you are ok with the cake being a caramel color .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 3 teaspoons Aluminum-Free Baking Powder<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 \u00be teaspoon Salt (see my salt <\/a>guide).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 1 \u00bd cups non-dairy Milk (360ml)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 \u00bd cup (120ml) Coconut Oil, melted <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 2 teaspoons Vanilla or other extract<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instructions:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Sift the flour into a mixing bowl and add the white sugar (if using it), baking powder and salt and mix together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F (180\u00b0C) and grease two 8-inch cake pins with coconut oil. Set aside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Add the applesauce (if using as a sugar substitute) almond milk, oil and vanilla extract and whisk in with a hand whisk until just combined. Don\u2019t overmix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Divide the cake batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans and place into the oven to bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of one of the cakes comes out clean (it will take a long time if using applesauce).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Allow the cakes to cool for a few minutes and then transfer them to a wire cooling rack and let them cool completely before frosting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
