Vegan Apple Cake Recipe

Step-by-Step Guide

• STEP 1.Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a cake pan with parchment paper for easy removal. Peel, core, and chop the apples into small chunks. Set them aside while you prepare the batter.

• STEP 1.In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir them together until well combined. Then, add the applesauce and non-dairy milk. Mix everything together until smooth and creamy.

• STEP 2.In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently to combine. Don’t overmix the batter—just stir until everything is incorporated.

• STEP 3.Fold the chopped apples into the batter, ensuring they’re evenly distributed. If you're using walnuts, gently stir them into the batter as well for added texture and flavor.

• STEP 4.Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

• STEP 5.Once the cake has cooled, slice it up and serve! You can dust it with a bit of powdered sugar or drizzle with maple syrup for an extra touch of sweetness. Enjoy it with a hot cup of tea or coffee for the perfect treat!
