I love buying the precut parchment circles, but you can also cut them out yourself. I spray a coating of oil inside the pan, then add a piece of parchment to cover the bottom. To prep your baking pans, I use a method I learned from the vegan dessert guru, Fran Costigan. An oven light helps you keep an eye on the cake to watch for the visual cues before opening to test. If you open the oven door too early in the baking process, this can cause the center of the cake to collapse. If there is any stickiness then continue baking it until done. A cake tester will also pull out clean, or with one or two crumbs. When done, the edges of the cake will be golden and have started to pull away from the sides of the pan. Watch for visual cues that you cakes are done baking. This relatively low temperature keeps the cake from browning too quickly on the outside, and helps lessen the doming of the cake. Once the wet ingredients are added the baking soda will immediately begin to react, so waiting to bake your cake will result in a flatter and less desirable result. This is how I measure, so for best results you should do the same! Also keep in mind I use US standard measuring cups, which are a little different than UK and Australian.ĭo not add the wet ingredients to the dry until 1) your oven is preheated and 2) your baking pan(s) are prepared. Remove the excess by scraping across the top with the back of a knife. ![]() Then scoop with your measuring cup so it’s overflowing. If you’re measuring by volume, I ask that you measure your flour in this specific way: First whisk the flour in its container to fluff and undo any settling of the flour. Kitchen scales are inexpensive and yet one of the best investments you can make if you love to bake! I’m a huge proponent of weighing your ingredients as there is very little room for error if you weigh. Next, we mix together the dry ingredients. While most non-dairy milk options will work, soy milk, almond/cashew milk, and oat milk will have the best results (and please don’t use rice milk which is too watery).Īdding a little vinegar to the recipe does a few things: it reacts with the baking soda for leavening, it tenderizes the gluten formation for a softer cake, and it slows down browning as it lowers the pH of the cake. (Scooping directly from the bag compacts the flour, resulting in dry baked goods.To start we clabber the plant milk with apple cider vinegar to make a quick buttermilk. When measuring flour, we spoon it into a dry measuring cup and level off excess. Spread the remaining frosting over the top and sides, smoothing it out. This is just a base layer.) Refrigerate for 30 minutes to let the frosting set. (It's ok if some of the cake shows through. Frost the sides of the cake with 1 1/2 cups of the frosting and smooth out completely to make an even crumb coat. Spread the top with 1 1/2 cups of the frosting. Spread 1 1/2 cups of the frosting evenly over the top. Place the remaining cake, domed-side up, on top. To assemble the cake: Place one cake, domed-side down, on a platter. Reduce the speed to low and gradually mix in the confectioners' sugar until completely smooth. With the motor running, drizzle in the heavy cream, vanilla and salt. Increase the speed to high and beat until the frosting is light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Remove the parchment and let the cakes cool completely.įor the frosting: Beat the butter in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Run a knife around the sides of the cakes and invert onto the wire rack. Transfer the pans to a wire rack and let the cakes cool for 30 minutes. Bake, rotating the pans from left to right halfway through, until the cakes are a light golden brown and a tester inserted into the centers comes out clean, 35 to 45 minutes. Scrape the batter evenly into the prepared pans. Add the eggs and yolks one at a time, beating to blend between additions and occasionally scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl until the batter is completely combined, smooth and creamy. With the mixer on low, add the dry ingredients in 3 additions, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt and baking soda in a large bowl until combined. Beat the butter, granulated sugar, oil and vanilla with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Line the bottoms with parchment paper rounds lightly coat the paper with nonstick spray. For the cake: Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat two 9-inch cake pans with nonstick cooking spray. ![]()
