Irresistible Homemade Vanilla Sponge Cake with Orange-Raspberry Frosting

I woke up Christmas morning and felt like having dessert with my holiday meal. It was a snowy day so I did not mind being inside baking. I took out some ingredients that were in my cupboard and it was the best decision I could make! I've been buying cakes for special occasions and realized I could be making one that fits into my vegan diet. This turned out to be one of the most delicious cakes I've ever made! After having the cake in my refrigerator overnight, I took it out and could not stop eating it! Here is my recipe:

1 3/4 cups All-Purpose Sifted Flour
1 cup Sugar
1 tsp Baking Soda
2 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Salt
1 Cup Almond Milk
2 tsp Vanilla Extract
1/3 cup Vegetable Oil or Melted Margarine
1 Tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar

These are my ingredients. Apple sauce and margarine were an option but I decided not to use them this time.

I sifted the flour and put it in a mixing bowl with the other dry ingredients. I put all the liquid ingredients in separate bowl. I mixed the two bowls well.

I combined both bowls and mixed well with a whisk.

I poured the mix into two prepared 8 inch round cake pans. I used baking spray so they would not stick to the pan. Place in a preheated 350 degree oven for 30 minutes.

These are two cakes when done. You can test with a toothpick that should come out clean.

My frosting ingredients included:

3 3/4 cups Powdered Sugar (add more if needed)
4 Tbsp Softened Margarine
4 Tbsp Almond Milk or non-dairy milk of your choice (add more if needed)
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
2 tsp Orange Extract
1 tsp Raspberry Extract

Add all the ingredients above for making your frosting and whip with an electric mixer. You may have to add more powdered sugar or almond milk according to texture.

Spread icing on the first layer. Then add the second layer on top and frost to completion.

Cut a big piece of cake.

You can enjoy it plain.

You can add berries to the cake. I chose homemade cranberries to top on my cake.

Serve with your favorite hot beverage and enjoy! Try my recipe and let me know how you like it. Please upvote if you like my recipe! Merry Christmas!
