I love making simple vegan versions of classic cakes, like my Vegan Carrot Cake, Vegan Bundt Cake, or Vegan Christmas Cake. Baking is my passion and I’ve come up with many ways of replacing the eggs with wholesome alternative and using non-dairy substitutes. I’ve proven that you can make cakes that are just as delicious as the traditional version without any of these products. Even if it’s just an Eggless Chocolate Cake, I have a way of making the recipe right. You won’t sacrifice the taste with my vegan recipes!
Ingredients and Substitutions
First, choose the ingredients carefully. Not all sprinkles are vegan, as some contain food coloring from animal sources. All you need to make a Vegan Funfetti Cake are:
Cake flour or all-purpose flour sifted works best for a light, fluffy vegan cake. Sugar – any sugar works, but fine caster sugar provides the best light cake texture. Baking soda, or if you want to use baking powder, double the amount requested by the recipe. It means 1 ½ teaspoons of baking soda comes to 3 teaspoons of baking powder. Unsweetened almond milk or any dairy-free milk you love. Canola oil or any light vegetable oil. You can also use melted coconut oil, but the cake texture comes out heavier. Vanilla extract – for flavor. Apple cider vinegar – To activate the baking soda and give a nice airy crumb. Vegan sprinkles – as mentioned above, not all sprinkles are vegan-approved because some contain food coloring made from animal sources. Also, you can adjust the amount of Funfetti depending on how sweet and colorful you want the cake to be. I love to use between ½ cup and ¾ cup.
