Description
A moist and fluffy plant-based cake packed with fresh blueberries and topped with a creamy vegan frosting.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose unbleached organic flour
- 1 tbsp organic cornstarch
- 1/2 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tbsp baking soda
- 1 cup organic raw cane sugar
- 1/3 cup creamy dairy-free plain yogurt
- 1/3 cup applesauce
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp avocado oil
- 1 cup dairy-free milk (almond, soy, or oat)
- 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup blueberries, coated in flour
- 10 ounces vegan cream cheese
- 1/3 cup blueberry jam
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour your cake pan.
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.
- In a separate large mixing bowl, mix the sugar, dairy-free yogurt, applesauce, apple cider vinegar, avocado oil, dairy-free milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- In a small bowl, coat the blueberries with a small amount of flour to keep them from sinking in the cake.
- Carefully fold the floured blueberries into the batter. Pour the batter into the cake pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake in the oven for about 45-48 minutes in one 9-inch cake pan, or for 30 minutes in two 8-inch cake pans, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 30 minutes, then move it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a mixing bowl, combine vegan cream cheese and powdered sugar. Use an electric mixer to beat until smooth. Fold in the blueberry jam.
- Once the cake is completely cool, spread the blueberry cream cheese frosting on top.
Notes
For best results, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature and avoid overmixing to maintain fluffiness.
