Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F and line a standard loaf pan (8.5×4.5 or 9×5) with parchment paper or grease with oil spray.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together dairy free milk, vegan yogurt, brown sugar, molasses, and canola oil. Add ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until combined.

Add spooned-and-leveled flour to the mixing bowl and stir using a rubber spatula. You want the flour to be just combined, but be careful not to over-mix the batter.

Pour the cake batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until cooked through and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Remove from the oven and let sit for 10 minutes before flipping the loaf onto a cooling rack to let cool completely.

Once cooled, prepare frosting. Place room temperature vegan butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Cream the butter until smooth and fluffy. Gradually add the sifted powdered sugar until fully incorporated, about 3 minutes. Add dairy free milk and vanilla and beat for 1-3 minutes, until desired consistency is reached. Alternatively, dust with powdered sugar.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Bloom Your Spices 🌟
Toast your ground ginger, cinnamon, and cloves in a dry pan for 30 seconds before mixing into the wet ingredients to intensify their warm flavors and eliminate any stale spice taste.
Molasses Temperature Trick 🍯
Warm your molasses slightly before mixing to make it more pourable and ensure even distribution throughout the batter for consistent flavor and moisture in every slice.
Vegan Butter Emulsion 🧈
Cream your vegan butter and brown sugar together for 2-3 minutes until pale and fluffy to incorporate air, resulting in a lighter, fluffier crumb texture despite the dairy-free substitution.
Dairy-Free Milk Substitution Secret 🥛
Mix your dairy-free milk with a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and let sit for 5 minutes to create a vegan buttermilk that activates the baking soda more effectively for better rise.
Frosting Stability Hack ❄️
Refrigerate your vegan yogurt-based frosting for 30 minutes before frosting the cooled loaf to prevent it from sliding off and ensure a smooth, professional-looking finish.
