Ingredients

  • 2 cups super-fine almond flour
  • 1 1/2 cups sweet white rice flour
  • 3/4 cup potato starch
  • 1 Tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup agave nectar
  • 1 cup full-fat canned coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or additional coconut milk)
  • 2 Tablespoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup vegan naturally dyed sprinkles (plus more for decorating)
  • 1 batch Vegan Vanilla Buttercream

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350° F and line two 8 or 9-inch cake pans with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  • In a large bowl, sift together the almond flour, white rice flour, potato starch, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the agave nectar, coconut milk, almond milk, vanilla extract, and almond extract.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix well. Stir in the sprinkles then divide the batter between the pans.
  • Transfer the pans to the oven and bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely before removing from the pan.
  • When the cakes are completely cooled, gently flip them out onto a cake stand or serving platter. Add one cup of frosting to the bottom layer then sprinkle with a dash of sprinkles.
  • Place the other cake on top and repeat while also icing the sides of the cake. Top the cake with additional sprinkles. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for 3-5days
