This Ultimate Vegan Vanilla Cake (Simple & Elegant) is one of the easiest cakes to make. From the super moist vanilla cake slices to the dreamy creamy, fragrant vanilla frosting on top, it’s a complete lovely one layer naked cake.

Not over the top, just simple and elegant.

Which also means, you don’t have to do anything too fancy to the cake, and it will be just gorgeous as is.

But, (there’s always a but, LOL) you could easily add some seasonal fruit, some fresh flowers, candies, sprinkles, nuts, candles or anything at all for special occasions like birthdays and holidays.

This cake is like the easiest vanilla cake I’ve ever made and even better that it’s vegan. Who would have thought? The ingredients are so basic, yet there are no eggs and no dairy! Hallelujah!

This 8 ingredient cake has flour, sugar, olive oil & almond milk -for added moisture, baking soda, salt, vinegar and lastly and most importantly, vanilla! This cake has also been deemed Crazy Cake, Wacky Cake, and some call it Depression Cake!

It was popular to make cakes like this during the Depression-era when eggs, butter, and milk were scarce. It’s also a very affordable cake to make from scratch as well. It’s even good without frosting, because of its’ moist texture.

Crazy Cake is a great option for those who have food allergies or follow a vegan diet.







The frosting is super creamy and it smells ‘vanilla‘ wonderful. It’s also amazing just for dipping strawberries into, as we found out! Ultimate Vegan Vanilla Cake (Simple & Elegant) is truly the best!
