The perfect birthday cake and frosting

It has taken me four full years to perfect the white birthday cake and frosting. The chocolate cake is fine. Easy, even. But the white cake...... Oh the white cake! I have tried so many. I have tweaked, altered, started again, stomped my feet, screamed, and tweaked some more.
And I did it.
The perfect egg free dairy free soy free white birthday cake. And it tastes amazing. You can't tell that it is not full of eggs and butter.
The key? Beating. You beat this cake to total and utter death, then beat some more. Best if you have a stand mixer. Otherwise it's hard to beat it enough and your arms gets REALLY tired using a hand-held.

So here's the recipe and method. I will post the frosting soon and then photos of Delta's cake on Monday. (How is delta turning one, exactly??)

1 cup vegan becel (or whatever butter-type ingredient you prefer)
2 cup + 2 T sugar
1 1/2 t vanilla
1/3 cup egg replacer mixed well with 1/3 cup hot water (or 4 eggs)
1 cup rice milk (or.... You get the idea)
2 2/3 cup flour
2 t baking powder
1/8 t salt

Preheat oven to 350 and line 2 8 inch pans with parchment.
In the bowl of your stand mixer beat becel and sugar for a good 5 or more minutes. It needs to get nice and fluffy.
While it is beating combine your dry ingredients and mix with a fork.
Keep letting the mixer mix.
Add vanilla, beat for a couple more minutes.
Add egg replacer mixture.
Beat some more. Just keep beating.
Add 1/2 c milk, then 1/2 of dry, then half if milk, then rest of dry MAKING SURE YOU BEAT REALLY REALLY WELL between additions. While you're doing this it seems like an excessive amount of beating. It's a good 20 minutes or more of running that mixer. (Like I said- you can do it with a hand mixer but your arm gets tiiiiired).
Pour into pans. Bake for 50 minutes until top springs back when lightly touched and a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pan on rack for 10 minutes, then cool completely on rack.

Seriously. Make this cake. You will not be disappointed. As far as allergy friendly cakes go, this is the best I've had. (Unless you're allergic to wheat. Then just never mind).
