Moist Vegan Apple Cake

Ingredients:

• 200g (1 1/2 cups) all-purpose flour

• 100g (1/2 cup) granulated sugar

• 1 teaspoon baking powder

• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• 240ml (1 cup) unsweetened applesauce

• 120ml (1/2 cup) vegetable oil

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 2 medium-sized apples, peeled, cored, and finely chopped

• 50g (1/2 cup) chopped walnuts (optional)

The How to Bit

• Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a cake pan.

• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

• In a separate bowl, combine the applesauce, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix well.

• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

• Fold in the chopped apples and walnuts (if using) into the batter.

• Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly.

• Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

• Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

• Once cooled, you can optionally dust the top with powdered sugar or drizzle with a simple glaze.
