Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour 240 g
  • 1 cup granulated white sugar
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup dairy-free milk
  • ½ cup vegan yogurt
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ¼ cup vegan butter 58 g
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

For the red marble

  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder natural, not dutch processed*
  • ½ teaspoon red food dye

Frosting Ingredients

  • ⅔ cup vegan cream cheese
  • ½ cup powdered sugar 50 g
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt

Instructions
 

  • Start by whisking together the dairy-free milk and apple cider vinegar and set them aside. This will be your vegan buttermilk.
  • To a large bowl, add the vegan butter, sugar, oil, vanilla, yogurt, and buttermilk and whisk together. Then add the flour, baking powder, soda, and salt, and whisk together.
  • Divide the batter evenly into two equal portions. To one portion, add the cocoa powder and food coloring and whisk those together. Don't add anything to the other portion.
  • Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and grease it with oil. Pour a thin layer of the vanilla batter, then a thin layer of the red velvet layer, and alternate until you run out of batter. Then take a knife and swirl the batters around to create a marble effect.
  • Bake the loaf at 350F for 50-55 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • While the loaf is baking, whisk together the frosting ingredients.
  • Allow the loaf to *fully* cool, then spread the frosting on top, slice and enjoy!

Notes

    • Spray the loaf pan: Spray the loaf pan well or use a piece of parchment paper so it’s easy to remove the loaf once it’s been baked. 
    • Allow the loaf to cool: Before you spread the decadent cream cheese frosting make sure the cake is completely cool or the frosting will melt and slide off.
