Hi Jan! I’m sorry the centers of the cake ended up sinking a little bit! Were you able to level them off and see how they looked inside? Here are some common reasons why cakes can sink in the middle. See if any of those might be the culprit: https://sugarandsparrow.com/why-cakes-sink/

The batter tasted fantastic. I used three six-inch cake pans and filled them evenly. The centers of the cakes refused to get done at the same pace as the edges and are somewhat “sunken.” Any thoughts on where I might have gone wrong?

Thank you so much for the tip, Christina! I’m so happy to hear that it worked with cream of tartar!!

I am a vegan baker and have had no luck trying to create a stable vegan buttercream. As you mentioned, using shortening tastes terrible – nothing I would ever make.

I have successfully tried your recipe and used cream of tartar instead of meringue powder. Many don’t know that cream of tartar is actually vegan so it’s safe to use. I have had no issues; hopefully this helps any future readers 🙂

Hi Christina! I’ve never tried the tub vegan butter in either of the recipes before, so it would be an experiment but it looks like the ingredients in both the spread and the sticks are the same. That makes me think it would be okay. Let me know how it goes!

I can only find Earth Balance in tub form in my area. Can I use the tub form vegan butter in this frosting recipe AND in your vegan cake recipe? Thank you!

Hi there! You could try, but the less powdered sugar you add the more runny in consistency it will be. If you do add less, I would try to balance it out by adding a little less of the dairy-free milk.
