Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup vegan butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 flax eggs (2 tablespoons ground flaxseed + 6 tablespoons water)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup non-dairy yogurt (such as almond or soy)
- 1/4 cup non-dairy milk (such as almond or soy)
- 1 and 1/2 cups mixed summer fruits (such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and sliced peaches)
Directions:
- Preparation: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan and set aside.
- Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, beat the vegan butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the flax eggs and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until well combined.
- Combining Batter: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the non-dairy yogurt and non-dairy milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Folding in Fruits: Gently fold in the mixed summer fruits until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Baking: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Cooling: Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
