Dairy Free Birthday Cake

by: claire cary

This fluffy dairy free cake is moist, tender and so easy to make. It's made in just one bowl and has a rich vanilla flavor. Top it off with my favorite dairy free vanilla or chocolate buttercream frosting!

Ingredients

Wet

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 ¾ cup white granulated sugar
  • cup plain oil
  • cup full fat coconut milk
  • ½ cup non-dairy milk
  • 4 teaspoons vanilla

Dry

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Line two 8 or 9 inch cake pans with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Shake up the can of coconut milk so the white part and liquid are completely combined, making a smooth milk. I usually add it to a blender to ensure everything is completely smooth.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat together all wet ingredients with an electric mixer until well combined.
  • Beat in the dry ingredients, aside from the sprinkles, just until a batter forms.
  • Fold in the sprinkles, if using.
  • Transfer to your prepared cake pans, trying to keep each as even as possible.
  • For 8 inch cakes, bake for 40-50 minutes, for 9 inch cakes, bake for 35-45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Let cool in the pans for 15 minutes, then carefully flip onto a wire rack to finish cooling.
  • Once completely cooled, frost with my buttercream (just swap for dairy free butter) and enjoy!

Notes

If you are not gluten free, you can sub for regular all purpose flour.
