This recipe is for a dense yet somewhat spongy vegan basic vanilla cake. You can top it with a basic vegan chocolate or vegan vanilla buttercream frosting. This cake is a nice, easy, basic, homemade favorite that doesn't taste like a box mix, and you can use it as a tasty vegan birthday cake! Cool it completely before topping it with your favorite vegan buttercream frosting.
