Well it looks like a cake

Last week, a friend asked me to bake a cake for her godson. After discussing his dietary needs we settled on a vegan cake. A quick search of the internet netted me a recipe or a eggless and dairy free cake vegan cake.
1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour

1 cup sugar ( I substituted turbinado raw cane sugar)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup soymilk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon vinegar

Heat oven to 350°F. Prepare cake pan: Line 8-inch round or square cake pan with parchment paper and grease bottom and sides of the pan. Then flour the pan. Whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Add vegetable oil, soy milk, and vanilla extract; whisk until no lumps appear and batter is smooth. Add vinegar, stir about seven times, and quickly pour into pan. Bake around 30 minutes, until cake begins to pull away from sides and/or toothpick inserted in the center pulls out clean. Let sit for ten to fifteen minutes, invert, and cool on rack.

I doubled the recipe and baked it in a bunt pan since he could not have icing. I kept saying to myself..well it looks like a cake because it was not my cup of tea. I think I would have liked it better with regular granuated sugar
