Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Milk (dairy or plant-based)
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar (packed)
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round or square baking pan, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, and salt until well combined. Set aside.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, combine the milk and apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for 5 minutes to curdle and form a homemade buttermilk substitute.

Step 4

Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the buttermilk mixture. Whisk until smooth and fully combined.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Use a spatula or whisk to gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Step 9

Optionally, dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar or frost it with your favorite cream cheese or vanilla frosting.
