Such a quick easy video! A couple tips for beginner bakers: As many other commenters have mentioned, "wet measure" and "dry measure" are different! If you use them correctly, you'll wind up with a slightly fluffier cake, which is what you're looking for. Make sure the cakes are completely cool before icing. If you live in a warmer climate, you might even have to refrigerate the cake between layers to stop it from melting all over the place. Vegan nutella could be used as icing if you don't want to buy an entire container of Earth Balance and a bag of powdered sugar (earth balance is expensive compared to traditional butter, so if you don't usually use it this will be a cheaper option for you. And powdered sugar is almost exclusively used for baking. So again, cheaper option). A refrigerated cake on a cutting board will cut more easily. There are plenty of coconut oil-based chocolate sauces to top them with, if you can't find vegan chocolate chips where you live! Alternatively, you could forgo the instructions and used boxed cake mix (just double check that the mix itself is vegan, they usually are) with soda (a can of sprite for the white cake, a can of coke for the dark). Not as healthy, for sure. But easier, cheaper, and the presentation will have more contrast between layers. Happy baking!
Tested your recipe yesterday as a birthday cake for my sister. It was a success 😍 all non-vegans loved it so it's been a wonderful experience for them. The only negative thing I noticed is that it didn't rise as good as yours, it might be because I used French cooking products but it was still delicious! I will replace baking soda by using baking powder next time. I wrote your recipe in my cookbook. Will definitely make it again! 💕 thank you so much for the video, my sister insisted on me writing a comment 😉 it was definitely easy to make, everyone was happy with the cake, you are great! 😄💕 Much love from France!
Awe I am so glad! I'm really happy everyone liked it too :). Sometimes if your baking soda/powder is old it can make it rise less too. In any case, thank you for leaving such a nice comment! Xo
I've never seen someone use a liquid measuring cup for dry goods. Frankly, we Americans need to get with the program and use weights instead of volume. Using a scale is much more accurate
Haha, I was looking in the comments to see if anyone else noticed that as well. My husband said that I was crazy for noticing that she used a liquid measuring cup instead of a dry ingredient mc. The cake looks delicious anywho. 👍
yeah tell me about it! I live in Greece and whenever i find a recipe that I like, I have to go through a million of processes just to understand how much I need for each ingredient! 😥😁
Liv's Healthy Life I didn't know either but when I watch the pros they say to use liquid for liquid and dry for dry. I guess the measurements are a bit off and could affect baking. Shrugs. If it works for you, no need to stop :)
I think it has to do with density. Most cups are designed differently, so they hold different volumes of flour, sugar etc. because they are grainy and they have air between them, when you fill a cup of flour, some part of it is actually air! :)
This is my first time watching someone who bake just like that. i mean just use what u hve. something came up? just google it. i love ur style. so simple
an easy way to cut the cakes in layers is by using dental floss... clean cutsand no mess... just make sure you don't use dental floss that gets stringy (we learn by doing mistakes huh :D)
Looks amazing! Im going to try it right away :) I can share a little tip for cutting the layers in half: use the knife to cut about an inch into the cake around the perimeter, then take a thread and insert it into the cut, cross the ends (so the thread forms a loop around the cake) and pull one end until the thread comes out. It cuts the cake more quickly and precisely. :)
hi liv! I ended up making this cake today, I'd been wanting to make it for a long time. I'm not a vegan, so I had to go buy the ingredients like soy milk and apple cider vinegar in advance. It turned out pretty good, I ended up making it a marble cake by mixing both and making a giant cake😋. I also tried to make my own version of a vegan nutella with cashews to top the cake with. I saw the difference between a vegan and non vegan cake. the vegan one was easier to make, and dense but soft and very filling. the egg and butter one's that I'm used to are lighter but greasier. I think I'm gonna make more of these, now that I know it's sooo easy! Thank our for the recipe!
Fat Vegan Tues I don't know why people re being so nasty. Thank you for the info. It could save a lot of us some trouble in future recipes we may encounter!
I just made this! It was too thick so I added more milk and it was all good. The batter tasted delicious. I used gluten free flour. I never use as much sugar as baking recipes call for. I used a third of what she said to use (she said 1 1/2 and I used only 1/2 cup) and it turned out perfectly sweet so I couldn't imagine using any more sugar. They're in the oven right now. I'll let you know how it turns out! I'm not sure if I'm going to make a frosting
Like I said the batter was super yummy. But the cakes...I mean the flavor was not bad but the texture was. It was all gummy and stuff. Maybe it was the gluten free flour (although it does say you can use a 1:1 ratio with gluten free to normal flour) but I'm not sure what was the problem. I guess I'll eat it but it's not great..
Fat is what your brain is made of. Fat won't make you fat. Fat doesn't raise your blood sugar and it keeps you full for many hours. But wheat flour is a lot of carbs and will make you fat. People are afraid of fat in veganism, but they're wrong.
Only just started being vegan 3 days ago...I've watched sooooo many of your videos! Your awesome.... When you use cocoa powder what brand do you use? I live in England though... i may not be able to get the same brand. Keep cooking sweetheart your so talented...and also very pretty! Take care my lovely xxx
just had a quick question. Is it okay if i can replace sugar to some other ingredients? If so, which ingredients would you recommend instead of sugar. Would honey powder work? I'm trying to avoid sugar but i wasn't sure what ingredients would replace it. I was hoping to put natural sweetner such as pears or something else. I don't know~ please let me know! Thank you!!! love your videos!
Made these today. Turned out not the best :D tastes good but yeah looks awful. You definitely should take them out of the tray for them to cool down like Liv did. Mine were wet at the bottom. So definitely do it the way she does
"And if you're wondering if some ingredient can be used as an oil replacer, you can honestly just google it"
lmaoooooooooooooooooooooooooo I love you

Boxed cake mix with soda ?? :o
Sophia Ramirez I thought soda wasn't vegan
What about the apple sauce? Can you just throw a couple of apples into the food processor and call if good?

I am a terrible baker and I gave this a try and it turned out so great! I especially loved how it was oil free. I also used stevia instead of sugar.

Your videos are all realistic, relaxing and helpful. Thank you for the videos :)
I made this for my birthday today, it was literally the best cake I've ever made💕definitely will make again!
Happy Belated Birthday!
I'm glad the parchment paper trick worked out! This cake looks insanely delicious. And easy, too!
+Robin :) It really is. Thanks for the tip!
Liv, I find it so much easier to cut a cake in half if I freeze it for an hour first, makes it hold together much better and not crumble.
This is my first time watching someone who bake just like that. i mean just use what u hve. something came up? just google it. i love ur style. so simple
That frosting yasss!!! Have been looking for a non dairy frosting for so long!
I would add orange zest to the vanilla layer to change it up a bit. 😁

Wow! I am definitely doing that next time! :)
I know this is weird but I love that you curse and don't edit it out like other youtubers u actually keep it real
OMG this channel has finally encouraged me to be a vegan.

Doreflyinc looks like it still turned out pretty good, so why stress😌
Fat Vegan Tues wow we definitely needed to know that.
Fat Vegan Tues I don't know why people re being so nasty. Thank you for the info. It could save a lot of us some trouble in future recipes we may encounter!
I noticed it too!
Very nice job going to try that for my grand daughters birthday looks so good

I'm so glad! Thank for for your kind words :)

your recipes are amazing! Ive been doing some and my family loves it! thanks for sharing!!
I love this recipe! I've been trying to lower my fat intake and make my diet more vegan.
I wouldnt really call this particular recipe healthy considering the amount of added sugar that was put in. Regardless tho it looks delicious!
yeah natural sugar like coconut would have been better
Fat is what your brain is made of.
Fat won't make you fat.
Fat doesn't raise your blood sugar and it keeps you full for many hours.
But wheat flour is a lot of carbs and will make you fat.

thank you so much I thought being a vegan is hard but with this is it is so easy 😊

Liv THIS looks sooo good 😍😍 I'm in love with your channel, you are the bomb 💖💖
if you freeze your cakes you don't have to wet your knife to spread the icing, also there are less crumbs when you freeze cake layers.
I love chocolate 😍
Your channel is just so underated! This looked amazing and you are very nice :) xxx
This cake looks amazing and you look so pretty by the way!
Nicejob!!! maybe get some dry measuring cups as they are not the same as the liquid measuring cup. I want some!!!

+Sangeetha Manjeet YUM!

I just discovered your channel and love it!!
Looks so delicious! I 'd like to take a bite ;-)
Cake is a huge deal
Only just started being vegan 3 days ago...I've watched sooooo many of your videos! Your awesome....
When you use cocoa powder what brand do you use? I live in England though... i may not be able to get the same brand.
Keep cooking sweetheart your so talented...and also very pretty! Take care my lovely xxx
This looks so delicious!! I was wondering if there would be a substitute for the apple cider vinegar, maybe lemon juice or something?
I'm not sure, the vinegar reacts with the baking soda to make it rise, so I'm not sure if lemon juice would do the same thing or not!
+Liv's Healthy Life yes lemon does the same
Hummm that looks so good :P
+Ines Santos thank youuu!
Putting the flour back in the bowl and then going "Shit" is something I do all the time 😂
omg this makes me so hungry... :)
the way you measured everything killed me haha. this looks great though
Wonderful ❤️
Nice 👌👌👌
I love this recipe it is so awesome and I wanted to tell you that you are pretty and awesome I love your videos they are so awesome
Yum oh my goshhhh
just had a quick question. Is it okay if i can replace sugar to some other ingredients? If so, which ingredients would you recommend instead of sugar. Would honey powder work? I'm trying to avoid sugar but i wasn't sure what ingredients would replace it. I was hoping to put natural sweetner such as pears or something else. I don't know~ please let me know!

Hi Liv! I love your videos but could you make more sugar-free recipes? 💖💞💗💓💕💘
yum
Could you Please put the ingredients in the description? 🐷💕
+Kate Enrich done :)
Liv you should use dry measuring cups for the flour and sugar... not a liquid measuring cup..
can you just cook the stuff, and sell it to OMG looks so good
Looks delicious but I prefer high fats than high sugar and flour , how can I make this keto friendly so can I substitute the flour for coconut flour?😬
It would be good to see the weight of the ingredients but looks good 👍
I like it
But not veagen
just letting you know that the brand of baking soda that you're using is not vegan. they test on animals :(
Isn't white sugar also not vegan. I maybe mistaken
Alexandra Bello Castings white sugar is vegan but the process of it isn't.
it's the same about the baking soda,the process is not vegan
The processing of sugar can be vegan. It depends on the brand. It's not always processed with bone char.
Do you know of any white sugar brands that are vegan? I never cared for refined sugar anyways, but it's good info to have :D
The icing tastes like pudding
omg you r so cuuuute
Oh dear god help me I'm so hungry for cake
Ty
