A classic that’s served us well for many years. Plus super easy to make gf or vegan or both. Use Bob’s 1 to 1 Flour for gf, and for your egg and buttermilk substitution, 1/4 c applesauce and 1/2t baking powder for each egg, and your favorite plant-based milk.
Preheat oven to 375 F
Dry Ingredients
2 ½ Cups All Purpose Flour (or Bob's 1 to 1 flour for gf)
2t Baking Powder
1 ½ t Salt
¾ t Baking Soda
2t Ginger
2t Cinnamon
½t Nutmeg
Wet Ingredients – ok to use the non-traditional "everyone in the pool" method
1 C Organic Cane Sugar
¾ C Brown Sugar
1 C Buttermilk (or your favorite plant-based milk)
¾ C Grapeseed or other neutral oil
1 ½ t Vanilla
4 Eggs (Vegan: substitute 1/4c applesauce and 1/2t baking powder for each egg)
Beat wet ingredients then add dry ingredients in batches.
Additional Ingredients – Fold in:
1lb shredded carrots
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup organic raisins
This makes one solid 9” round plus a little extra for cupcakes etc. I try to fill whatever pan to about 70% to get a good bake. Bake at 375F for about 45 minutes.
