8" Cake Pan

Ingredients

Cake

1 ½ Cups All Purpose Flour
1 Cup Organic White Sugar
1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
½ Teaspoon Salt
⅛ Teaspoon Cinnamon
⅛ Teaspoon Nutmeg
1 Cup Soy Milk
5 Tablespoons Vegan Butter melted
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1 Teaspoon Apple Cider Vinegar

Streusel

1 ¼ Cups All Purpose Flour
½ Cup Packed Organic Light Brown Sugar
⅓ Cup Organic White Sugar
1 Teaspoon Cinnamon
¼ Teaspoon Salt
6 Tablespoons Vegan Butter melted

Optional Glaze

½ Cup Powdered Sugar
1 Tablespoon Non-Dairy Milk

Instructions

Prep. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line the bottom of an 8" or 9" cake pan with parchment paper.
Make the streusel. In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, brown sugar, white sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Pour on the butter and use a fork to mix until clumps form - just stir, do not press the streusel together. Set aside.
Make the cake. In a large bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add the milk, butter, vanilla, and apple cider vinegar. Whisk until smooth.
Layer the cake. Pour slightly less than half of the batter into the prepared pan. Add half of the streusel mixture - choose the smaller, more flour-y clumps. Then pour on the remaining batter, and top with the larger streusel clumps.
Bake. Bake for 45-50 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
Make the glaze. If making the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and non dairy milk in a small bowl until smooth. Drizzle over the cake.
