Parve Birthday Cake

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond milk and white vinegar. Let it sit for 5 minutes to allow the mixture to curdle slightly.

3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.

4. Add the applesauce, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the almond milk mixture. Stir well to combine.

5. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.

6. Pour the cake batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.

7. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

8. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

9. Once the cake has cooled, you can frost it with your favorite pareve frosting or dust it with powdered sugar for a simple touch.
