homemade yellow cake

This is the ultimate vegan birthday cake recipe!! Made with a secretly eggless yellow cake and topped with a decadent dairy free chocolate buttercream, this vegan birthday cake tastes just like the classic yellow cake mix! Make it gluten free as needed!

Best Ever Vegan Birthday Cake (Vegan Yellow Cake!)

(300 mL) vegan buttermilk, room temperature

(460 g) organic all purpose flour flour

tsp baking powder

tsp baking soda

turmeric powder or liquid vegan yellow food coloring

(250 g) organic granulated sugar

(170 g) salted vegan butter (I recommend Miyoko’s

(190 g) unsweetened applesauce, room temperature

tbsp vanilla extract

vegan chocolate buttercream frosting

Prep: 

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Grease three 8&#8243; cake pans with cooking oil, and line them with parchment paper. Set aside.

Whisk: 

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and turmeric.

Make the batter: 

In a stand mixer with paddle attachment or a large bowl with hand mixer, cream together the vegan butter and sugar until fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Scrape down the sides as needed. Then add in the applesauce and vanilla extract. Mix again on medium speed until combined, scraping down the sides and at the bottom of the bowl as needed. Add in about half of the dry mixture, along with half of the dairy free milk, and mix on medium speed until just combined. Add in the remaining dry mixture and vegan buttermilk, and mix on medium speed until there are just no more dry streaks. Make sure to scrape the bottom of the bowl as well as the sides. Be careful not to over mix.

Bake: 

Divide the batter between the cake pans evenly, and bake for 25-27 minutes, or until the toothpick comes out clean. Be careful not to over bake.

Cool: 

Remove from the oven and allow the cakes to cool in their pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely. Once cooled completely (there is absolutely no warmth to the touch!), then you can prepare your chocolate buttercream.

Prepare the chocolate buttercream

make the chocolate buttercream according to the directions in the post. You should yield about 6 cups of frosting.

Assemble the cake

on a cake stand or a cake turntable, spoon about 3/4 cup of frosting onto the first layer. Use an offset spatula to smooth the frosting to the edges. Then place the second layer on top and repeat. Place the third layer on top and frost the outside of the cake, creating a crumb coat. You can either smooth the edges even more after chilling the crumb coat layer, or you can make swoops in the frosting. Decorate with sprinkles and serve! Enjoy!

Storage

store any leftover cake wrapped in parchment paper and tinfoil, and in the fridge for up to 4 days or the freezer for up to 3 months.

AMAZING Vegan Birthday Cake | Vegan Yellow Cake with Chocolate Buttercream

Easy, dense and moist homemade yellow cake made from scratch makes the perfect simple and delicious dessert.Recipe updated recently for even better results!

Dense Homemade Super Moist Yellow Cake From Scratch

flour

baking powder

sugar

butter (softened)

eggs (room temperature)

milk

vanilla extract

In a bowl, mix flour and baking powder together.

Beat the eggs and keep aside.

In another bowl, add the softened butter and sugar, beat well until well combined.

Add the beaten eggs to the butter sugar mixture and whisk together to mix all ingredients well.

Now add the milk and vanilla extract to the bowl, and mix well (add the food color also to the milk if you are using it).

Slowly add this wet mixture to the dry flour mixture, stirring in between so that no lumps are formed. Combine everything together to form the batter.The texture of the cake batter is slightly thick since this is a dense yellow cake. However, it is not supposed to be super thick, so if you think the batter turned too thick (it also depends on the flour and other ingredients that you use), you may add a little more milk to the batter and mix well to combine. Do not add a lot of milk, but just add about one tablespoon of milk at a time, mix with the batter and only add one spoon of milk if necessary. The batter is supposed to be thick but you should be able to pour the batter to the pan easily, which is the right consistency of batter for this cake recipe.

To make the yellow cake batter

Preheat oven to 300 degree Fahrenheit.

Prepare the cake pan (9 inch round cake pan will be perfect) by greasing with butter and dusting with little flour. You can also line the bottom of the baking pan with parchment paper which will help you to transfer the cake easily once it is baked. Also put the cake strips around the pan for even baking if you want a perfect flat level cake- make sure you follow the directions mentioned in the strips you are using.

Pour the cake batter into the pan and bake this for about 45 to 50 minutes in the oven or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Mine was done in 50 minutes of time. Sometimes oven temperatures and baking times can vary depending on the oven, so it is a good idea to check the cake after about 35 to 40 minutes of time, since overbaking can cause the cake to dry out.

As soon as the cake is done, transfer it from the hot oven, allow the cake to cool down completely before you try to take it out of the pan or slice it.
