Fluffy White Cake & Creamy Icing

---

CAKE

2 1/2 cups All Purpose Flour

2 Tbsp Cornstarch

1 Tbsp Corn Powder

1/2 tsp Salt

1 1/2 cups Sugar

3/4/ cup Grapeseed Oil

1 1/2 cups Non-Dairy Milk, Unsweetened

2 tsp Braggs Apple Cider

1 Tbsp Vanilla Extract

ICING

1 cup vegan Butter, room temp

3 1/2 cups Powdered Sugar

2 Tbsp Non-Dairy Milk

1 tsp Vanilla Extra

1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease your pan. I used a 9 x 9 pan but these would make amazing cup cakes, and, well, we all know I love a Bundt cake. It doesn't matter what pan you use, just be sure you grease it.
2. Mix together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt and sugar using a whisk.  
3. Add your oil, milk, vinegar, and vanilla. Using a spoon, mix this until it is all combined, but, as with any vegan cake, you need to be careful you do not over mix the batter or it will not rise and it will be more dense. We all know vegan pastries have a tenancy to be dense. It's the price we pay to save the animals. 
4. Pour that deliciousness into the pan of your choice that you have greased. 
5. Cook for approximately 30 to 35 minutes. Set a timer so you remember to check on the cake. But really, I don't know what type of oven you have so just be safe and watch you cake. Rotate it occasionally, too. But once you insert a toothpick and it comes out clean, your cake is done. Grandma knew what she was doing with that toothpick. 
6. Let your cake cool. Seriously, you need to let the cake cool or your icing will melt and turn out gross.

Let's make the icing now:

1. Place room temperature vegan butter in a bowl and whip it with an electric mixer until creamy smooth. Do not beat too much our your butter will become watery. 
2. Gradually add your powdered sugar to the butter beating all the while. I add a 1/2 cup at a time. It's time consuming but it is worth it.
3. Once you have added all of the powdered sugar, add your vanilla and 1 Tbsp of your non-dairy milk. Depending on how thick you want your icing is contingent on how much non-dairy milk you add. I do not use but 2 Tbsp of the non-dairy milk, Taste it and then decide. Trust your tastebuds. They don't lie. 
4. Once you have gotten your icing to the consistency you desire and your cake has cooled, slather that icing on it and enjoy. 
5. You can add lemon or orange zest to this batter or the icing. You can add chocolate chips, too.  Food coloring, coconut....The ideas are endless!
