Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any plant milk)
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1/3 cup coconut oil, melted
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp ground flaxseed mixed with 6 tbsp warm water (flax egg)
• Optional: 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips or chopped nuts

Equipment

• Mixing bowls (large and medium)
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Whisk or electric mixer
• 9-inch round cake pan or 8×8-inch square pan
• Parchment paper
• Cooling rack
• Spatula

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your cake pan. Line it with parchment paper to ensure easy removal.
2. Prepare the flax egg: In a small bowl, mix ground flaxseed with warm water. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it thickens.
3. In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Whisk them together to ensure even distribution.
4. In a separate medium bowl, mix the wet ingredients: almond milk, apple cider vinegar, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and the prepared flax egg.
5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or whisk until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the cake tender.
6. If using, fold in vegan chocolate chips or nuts now.
7. Pour the batter into your prepared pan and smooth the top evenly.
8. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
9. Remove from the oven and let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Tips & Variations
