Instructions
Gingerbread Cake
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees
 - In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond milk and the apple cider vinegar and allow it to sit for about 10 minutes while you prepare the rest of the cake
 - In a large bowl, sift and whisk together all your dry ingredientsĀ
 - After the almond milk mixture sits, pour that into the dry cake bowl and mix to combine
 - Stir in the melted coconut oil, vanilla, and molasses. Fold the cake batter until all of the coconut oil is absorbed
 - Pour your batter into 3 greased 6-inch cake pans and place on a baking sheet. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean
 - Let your cakes cool completely on a cooling rack before frosting
 
Cinnamon Buttercream Frosting
- Beat the softened butter and vanilla extract on low with your hand mixer. Add the powdered sugar 1 cup at a time until you add all 4 cups. Finally, beat in the cinnamon and almond milk (if needed)
 - Add a full amount of frosting on top of each cake and smooth out
 - **NOTE: you may need to slice the tops of the cakes to make them flat
 - Layer each cake slice on top of the other and then just lightly frost and spread the frosting along the sides
 - **NOTE: there are tons of videos on how to frost a naked cakeĀ
 - Slice, enjoy! Keep leftover cake covered on your kitchen counter (if you refrigerate it, it will get hard because of the coconut oil). Eat within a couple days
