Ingredients

  • 3 ⅓ cups all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup full fat canned coconut milk
  • 1 ½ cups white sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup vegan butter soft
  • 1 ½ TB vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups non dairy milk
  • 1 TB white vinegar
  • 1 cup sprinkles

Frosting

  • 1 ½ sticks vegan butter softened
  • 3-4 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3-6 TB higher fat non dairy milk
  • pinch salt

Instructions

Make vegan buttermilk

  • Take a 2-cup liquid measuring cup and add the non dairy milk and 1 TB vinegar, stir, and set it aside.
  • Preheat your oven to 350° F and spray two 8-inch cake pans with cooking spray and then sprinkle some flour, shake it around, and then dump the excess flour into the sink or garbage can and set it aside.
  • Get out your stand mixer and add all the ingredients but the sprinkles into the large mixing bowl. Then mix on low speed until incorporated, switch to medium-high speed for 2-3 minutes until well whipped and it starts to be fluffy.
  • Stop the mixer and add your sprinkles; stir with a spatula to combine.
  • Split the cake batter evenly between the two cake pans, smooth out the top.
  • Bake the cakes for 33-38 minutes, depending on your oven, a toothpick should come out mostly clean. Let them cool on a cooling rack for 15 minutes before carefully turning them over and removing the cake from the pan to finish cooling.

Make the frosting

  • Take a medium bowl and a hand mixer or the bowl to your hand mixer. Add the frosting ingredients and whip until smooth. Start with the minimal amount of ingredients and add more as needed to reach the consistency you're looking for.

Assemble the cake

  • Once the cake is cooled, place the bottom half on a cake plate and add some of the frosting to the center in a decent layer as this will be your filling.
  • Now add the other layer on top and cover the sides and top with the frosting and decorate as you, please.
