Ingredients

12 servings

For the cake

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp ground turmeric
¾ cup 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.
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
½ cup aquafaba (liquid from one 15 oz can of chickpeas)
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 cup whole milk
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.
¼ cup sour cream

For the frosting

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
