Expert Tips
- We prefer Country Crock avocado oil butter sticks. They tend to give the best results.
- Kroger plant-based sour cream has the best consistency for baking.
- Costabile lemon olive oil is our go-to choice. It's genuine Italian olive oil and of the highest quality.
- Bring all your cold ingredients to room temperature for easy mixing and blending.
- Be sure your baking powder and baking soda are fresh for a nicely risen loaf.
- Mix your cake batter until the wet ingredients are just combined to prevent a dense, tough cake.
- Let your cake cool completely before adding the frosting. Otherwise, the frosting will thin out on contact.
