*Maiah's original recipe uses 1 teaspoon baking soda and no baking powder, which rises best. Leah wanted a more traditional tender cake texture, so she used a baking powder/baking soda combo. Both work well!
**Since Maiah used buttery spread and more baking soda in her original recipe, she did not use added salt.
**Maiah's original recipe uses ⅓ cup melted dairy-free buttery spread or margarine + ⅓ cup oil (such as grapeseed, rice bran or vegetable). Leah swapped in coconut oil for both, and it worked well. Choose the option that you prefer! But if using coconut oil, remember that all ingredients must be at room temperature. If not, the coconut oil will solidify. If this happens, just leave the batter at room temperature until the ingredients warm and can be properly stirred together.
