Guest guest Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 Hi there, does anyone have a good recipe for a vegan white cake? I would like one that tastes like regular non- vegan white cake and haven't been able to find one . Thanks - cathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 I can't remember where I got this from, and I've never tried it, but this was in my recipe folder: VANILLA CAKE (Serves 8) Here's a simple white cake recipe. ½ cup soft soy margarine 2-3/4 cups all-purpose white flour 2 1/2 teaspoons baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons Ener-G Egg Replacer ¼ cup water ¾ cup soy milk ½ cup water 1-3/4 cups sugar 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract Spray two round 8 " x 1-2/3 " pans with Pam, or lightly oil and flour. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt and set aside. Mix Egg Replacer and ¼ cup water and set aside. Mix soy milk and ½ cup water, and set aside. In large bowl of electric mixer, beat soy margarine until it is creamy, about a minute. Gradually add sugar until well creamed. Beat in vanilla. Add mixed dry ingredients and mixed soy milk/water alternately to creamed margarine, sugar, and vanilla, beating after each addition. Begin and end with flour mixture. (Add flour in 4 steps, liquids in three.) Add mixed Ener-G along with the third addition of liquid. Turn evenly into pans. Bake at 375 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes, or until done (wooden pick inserted into cake comes out clean). Remove from oven and let cool on cake rack for 10 minutes. Remove from pans and let cool on rack until cold. Frost as desired.
