Instructions

Make the Cake

Preheat the oven to 350F (180C). Grease an 8" baking pan.
Mix non-dairy milk, vanilla extract, and vinegar together. Let sit for a few minutes.
In a large bowl, add all the dry ingredients. Add the vegan butter. Pour in the milk mixture and combine well with a wooden spoon.
Pour the batter into a baking pan. Bake for about 60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Make the Frosting

In a stand mixer, beat the icing sugar and dairy-free butter together. Add milk and vanilla extract. Whisk until you get a nice, creamy texture.

Assemble Cake

Remove cake from the oven and let it completely cool down. With a sharp knife, cut the cake into 2 layers.
Spread frosting on first layer then top it with the second cake layer. Finish frosting the outside of the cake. Add sprinkles.
