Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

¾ cup dairy free Greek yogurt or regular greek yogurt if not df
2 ¼ cup sugar
½ cup vegetable oil
½ cup plant butter melted and cooled
1 cup oat milk room temperature
2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
2 teaspoon Vanilla Bean paste
6 eggs room temperature

Instructions

Mise en Place

Preheat your oven to 350 ℉. This recipe will make two 9” round cake pans so lightly grease your cake pans and set them aside.

Dry Ingredients

Add all of your dry ingredients to a bowl and whisk them together.

Cream

In a separate bowl using either a hand mixer or stand mixer, add your butter and half of the sugar and mix on high until fluffy and airy, about a minute and a half.
Add the remaining sugar and oil and mix for another minute until fluffy.

Wet Ingredients

Add one egg at a time, mixing after every two eggs. Once the eggs have been incorporated add in your vanilla and vanilla bean paste and mix.

Mix

Carefully add in half of your dry ingredients, allowing them to incorporate into the batter. Next add the milk and yogurt and allow it to mix in.
Add the remaining dry ingredients and mix until just combined. The batter will be thick and pudding like.

Divide

Divide your batter between the two prepared cake pans and gently smooth out the tops.

Bake

Place your cake pans in the middle of the oven and allow them to bake for 30-37 minutes until the tops are lightly golden and a toothpick comes out clean.

Rest

Allow your cakes to cool completely before frosting them.

Frosting

Make this frosting and just dip the tip of a toothpick in the icing color and use to drop. Set a time until the desired color is reached.

Decoration

Sprinkle the cake with my favorite Pastel Confetti Sprinkles
