Ingredients

9 servings

For the cake

½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
Chef's tip
Use a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one.
¾ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
2 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup whole milk, room temperature
Chef's tip
Use the same amount of soy milk as regular milk. It's one of the most reliable milk swaps and works in almost any recipe, including sauces, custards, and baked goods. In cold drinks or uncooked dishes you may notice a mild soy flavor.
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
