Ingredients

• 2 cups Oat flour
• 1 cup Vanilla protein powder (vegan)
• 1.5 cups Plant-based milk (unsweetened, such as almond or soy)
• 0.5 cup Maple syrup
• 0.25 cup Coconut sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil (melted) or a neutral vegetable oil
• 1 pinch Pinch of salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper and lightly grease the sides with oil.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the oat flour, vanilla protein powder, coconut sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to combine.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the plant-based milk and apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for 5 minutes to create a vegan buttermilk.

Step 4

After 5 minutes, add the vegan buttermilk to the dry ingredients, followed by maple syrup, vanilla extract, and coconut oil. Mix until a smooth batter forms, but be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 28-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 7

Once baked, allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Step 8

Optional: Dust with powdered sugar or frost with vegan vanilla frosting for extra sweetness.
