Classic Yellow Cake

Ingredients

• 2 ⅔ c all-purpose flour

• 2 tsp baking powder

• ⅛ tsp salt

• 1 c dairy-free butter/margarine, at room temperature

• 1 ½ c white sugar

• 2 tsp vanilla extract

• 4 large eggs

• 1 c unsweetened, original almond or soy milk

• Sliced strawberries and/or strawberry preserves

• Your favorite frosting

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 325F.

2. Grease and flour 2 x 8-inch cake pans and set aside.

3. Sift together flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl.

4. Beat together margarine and sugar until fluffy in another medium bowl.

5. Add vanilla to margarine and sugar, and beat to combine. Beat in each egg separately.

6. Add ⅓ of your dry mix to the wet ingredients. Then ⅓ c of your milk. Add the remaining ⅓s of your dry mix and milk in this alternating pattern. Beat well before adding the next ⅓. After the last addition, mix until just combined.

7. Pour into the baking pans and smooth the top.

8. Bake for 50 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.

9. Cool for 10 minutes in the pans, then transfer the cakes to a wire rack to cool completely.

10. Once cooled, layer your strawberries, or strawberry preserves on top of the bottom layer and frost with your favorite frosting for a layered cake. For two single cakes, frost and decorate with sliced strawberries - if desired.
