Vanilla Bean Cake
Did you think a vanilla company would leave its fans without a classic vanilla bean cake? Of course not! If you’re familiar with us, you know we have a silly name, but we are serious about vanilla. That means you know this cake is serious. We used vanilla extract and bean paste, which gives the cake a fantastic flavor, and you can see and admire the vanilla specks. The vanillatude doesn’t end there, though. We frosted it with our organic vanilla frosting mix, which, if you didn’t know, comes with a packet of ground vanilla, so even from the outside, your friends and family will no real vanilla was used to make this cake. That’s right, no boxed cake mix and no fake flavors; what could be better?
Ingredients and Directions
To make this cake, first gather the following ingredients;
- Gluten-Free Flour: We like Josie’s Best.

- Salt: Adds flavor.
- Vanilla Almond Milk: Provides moisture and added vanillatude.
- Vegetable Oil: Adds moisture to the cake.
- Vanilla Extract: Always bake with vanillatude.
