Vegan Apple Cake
This vegan apple cake is moist with a delicate crumb. It's full of juicy apples and lightly seasoned with cinnamon. You can make it in one bowl with only 15 minutes hands on time, and it's totally dairy free!
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon (for topping) caster sugar or granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup soy milk *or any plant based milk you prefer
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ½ cup vegan yogurt
- ½ cup apple sauce
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- 3 large apples peeled
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350° F (180 C). Grease an 8 inch cake tin ( a spring form pan is best). Line it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.
- Add the soy milk, lemon juice, yogurt, apple sauce and vegetable oil and mix until no lumps remain. *see note 1
- Peel and finely chop one apple and fold the pieces into the batter.
- Transfer the batter to the cake tin. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Peel and cut the remaining two apples into wedges. Arrange them in an overlapping circular pattern over the top of the cake. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of sugar.
- Allow the cake to fully cool before removing it from the pan. *see note 2
Notes
- Be careful not to over mix the cake batter, or your cake will come out too dense. Only mix until the lumps have disappeared from the batter.
- It's important to allow the cake to cool fully in the pan, before removing it and cutting it into pieces. If you take it out of the pan too soon, it may not hold together.
- For a gluten free eggless apple cake, simply substitute your favorite gluten free flour blend for the all purpose flour in a 1:1 ratio.
