Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350F and grease a 9x9-inch or 9x13-inch baking dish.

In a small bowl, stir the dairy-free milk and apple cider vinegar together. Set aside.

Make the cinnamon sugar filling by whisking the brown sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl. Set aside.

Prep the streusel topping by stirring the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vegan butter together in a medium bowl until the mixture is crumbly. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, stir the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt together. Pour in the dairy-free milk and apple cider vinegar mixture. Add the oil, vegan yogurt, and vanilla. Stir together until just combined, do not over-mix the batter.

Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish. Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon sugar filling over the top. Add the remaining half of the batter on top of the filling. Top with the streusel topping.

Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Let cool for 5-10 minutes. Slice into 12 squares and serve.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Acidic Activation for Perfect Rise 🧪
The apple cider vinegar reacts with baking powder to create lift; add it to your dairy-free milk 2-3 minutes before mixing to allow the reaction to begin, ensuring maximum volume and a lighter crumb.
Room Temperature Ingredients Matter 🌡️
Bring your vegan butter, yogurt, and dairy-free milk to room temperature before mixing; this ensures even distribution and prevents dense pockets in your final cake.
Streusel Topping Trick ✨
Freeze your cinnamon streusel topping for 15 minutes before baking to prevent it from sinking into the batter and maintain those desirable crunchy clusters on top.
Optimal Moisture with Oil and Yogurt Balance 💧
The combination of both canola oil and vegan yogurt creates superior moisture retention; don't skip either ingredient as they work synergistically to prevent drying out.
Toothpick Test Timing ⏱️
Check doneness at 35 minutes with a toothpick; if crumbs cling, give it 5 more minutes—vegan cakes can appear slightly underbaked but continue cooking as they cool, resulting in perfect texture.
