Easy Vegan Yellow Cake Recipe
This is a light and fluffy vegan yellow cake recipe - it's not heavy, like some vegan cake recipes. A basic vegan yellow cake is good for children's birthdays or other special occasions. See also: More Vegan Cake Recipes

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup vegan margarine, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • Egg replacer for 4 eggs
  • 1 3/8 cup flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • soy milk as needed

Preparation:

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Grease the bottom only of a 8-inch square pan.

Cream the vegan margarine with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the sugar gradually. Add the egg replacer and mix well. Add the flour and baking powder and stir. If the mixture is too dry, add a few drops (up to 1/4 cup) of soy milk.

Spread the mixture in the prepared pan and bake for 30-40 minutes. Allow the cake to cook and frost with your favorite vegan frosting, if desired.

[blockquote shade=grur]My Response to cheeto3:
I'm sorry this didn't work out for you but it looks like you didn't follow the directions AT ALL. When using Ener-G egg replacer, you do need to mix it with water, as is clearly stated on the package. This would explain why your batter turned out dry and crumbly. Try it again, this time following the instructions and hopefully you will feel differently about this recipe!

I'm 15, I'm not vegan at all but I was looking for a super easy *relatively* healthy cake/cupcake recipe. so I chose to make this, but I changed it up. I used real eggs, margarine and milk, and whole wheat flour instead of white flour. I also added lemon (I grated the skin and put it in) and frozen cranberries. and I made them into cupcakes! :D and I think they are really good!! om nom nom :3
