Instead of flouring your pans, use 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder to flour the pans.

Combine almond milk and vinegar in a small bowl.

Set aside.

In a large bowl combine dry ingredients (flour through salt) and whisk to blend thoroughly.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, whip together shortening, sugar, vanilla and eggs until combined.

11
Slowly add in the milk and vinegar until blended.
