Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup canola oil *or melted coconut oil
  • 1 1/2 cups unsweetened soy milk
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles
  • 1 Recipe Vegan Vanilla Frosting
  • more sprinkles, for topping (1/4 cup)

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease two 8- or 9-inch cake pans with oil. Line the bottoms with parchment paper rounds to prevent sticking.
  2. Whisk the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a large mixing bowl until thoroughly combined.
  3. Add the oil, soy milk, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla to the bowl. Mix with a large spoon until just combined, taking care not to overmix. Fold in 1/2 cup of sprinkles.
  4. Distribute the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  5. Cool the cakes in their pans for 10 minutes, then remove them and transfer to a wire rack. Allow the cakes to cool completely before frosting.
  6. Prepare the Vegan Vanilla Frosting. Frost the cooled cakes as desired, top with additional sprinkles, and serve.

Notes

  1. If you want the cake to be even more soft, use cake flour in place of all purpose flour. 
  2. I used canola oil, but you can use melted coconut oil or melted vegan butter. Other neutral flavored oils may work as well. If using coconut oil, make sure the soy milk is not too cold or it will make the coconut oil solidify when you are mixing the batter.
  3. May use almond milk or another non-dairy milk in place of soy.
  4. I used vegan sprinkles from Sweetapolita. They are my favorite! You can use any vegan friendly rainbow colored sprinkles.
