Pineapple vegan cheese Pound Cake
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup canned crushed pineapple, drained
- 1/2 cup vegan cheese, shredded (choose a mild-flavored variety)
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup non-dairy milk (such as almond, soy, or oat milk)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard-sized loaf pan.
- In a small bowl, mix the non-dairy milk and apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for a few minutes to curdle and create a vegan buttermilk.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the drained crushed pineapple, vegan cheese, vegetable oil, curdled non-dairy milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, you can optionally top it with a simple vegan glaze or powdered sugar.
- Slice and enjoy your vegan Pineapple Cheese Pound Cake!
