Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups unsweetened soy milk or any nondairy milk, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 3/4 cups cake flour
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup vegan butter melted, or neutral oil
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 batch Vegan Buttercream Frosting prepared, optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare two 12-cup muffin pans with paper liners or a light coating of nonstick cooking spray.
