THE BEST VEGAN VANILLA CAKE WITH BERRIES

This really is the best vegan vanilla cake! Trust me. It doesn’t have any unusual ingredients and it’s very easy to make. Plus, it’s light, fluffy and nobody would guess that it’s vegan. Perfect as a vegan birthday cake.

I’m going out on a limb here and calling this cake the BEST (*toots own trumpet*).

I based the recipe on the one for my vegan chocolate cake that has been made by many many readers. You’ve kindly written to me in droves telling me how much you loved it. I’ve had such wonderful feedback on that cake, so I thought I’d create this vanilla version.

And it certainly didn’t disappoint.
