Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325 F.
Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans or line with greased parchment.
Sift 2 2/3 cups cake flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl.
In a large bowl, beat 1 cup dairy-free soy margarine and 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar for 4 minutes until fluffy.
Beat in 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla, then add 4 eggs one at a time, beating after each.
Alternately add the flour mixture and 1/2 cup almond milk to the wet ingredients, starting and ending with flour, beating until combined after each addition.
Divide batter evenly into prepared pans and bake for about 50 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool cakes in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Frost and serve.
