No baking powder. I just tried to make it , following the recipe with no baking powder , and it did not rise at all
I made it twice with doubling the recipe. It raises well in the center but not to edges. however it tastes so delicious. Cant love more
It was so easy to make, and came out so delicious!
By the way, I used gluten free flour. I sifted it twice. You would never know it was not wheat flour.
I have tried your vegan cake recipe. It turned out very nice. Thank you for sharing. I like the most that your measurements you have given in the recipe are very simple to follow.
Glad you liked it 🙂
