The Best (Vegan) Apple Cake

Ingredients

Makes 12 slices

1 medium apple, peeled, cored, and cut into small pieces

2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced thin

2 cups (250 gr) flour (I used whole wheat flour)

1 cup (100 gr) almond flour (or almond meal)

¾ cups (150 gr) brown sugar + 1 tablespoon, divided

Pinch of salt

4 teaspoons (16 gr) baking powder

Zest of one lemon

1 cup (250 ml) non-dairy milk of your choice

5 tablespoons (50g gr) vegetable oil (I used sunflower seed oil)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ teaspoon cinnamon

Confectioners’ sugar to dust

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and place a rack in the middle.

Grease and flour a baking pan (I used an 8 inch springform).

In a large bowl mix flour, almond flour, ¾ cup sugar, lemon zest, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

In a separate bowl, mix milk, oil, and vanilla extract until fully combined.

Slowly stir wet mixture into dry ingredients and whisk until smooth

Stir the apple pieces into the batter, then scrape into the prepared pan.

Place apple slices on top of the cake in your desired arrangement.

In a small bowl combine the remaining 1 tablespoon brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle on top of the cake.

Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes. Avoid opening the oven door during baking. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center after the 45 minute mark.

When done, let cool completely on a wire rack before unmolding.

Sprinkle the cake with confectioners’ sugar and serve!
