Vegan Spiced Apple Cake
A quick and easy cake to make
8
slices
Equipment
- 1 7" cake tin, lined (note: I used an 8" cake tin, but reduced the cooking time)
Ingredients
- 100 g Butter - vegan, softened
- 100 g Sugar
- 100 g Applesauce - unsweetened
- 1 tsp Bicarbonate of Soda
- 175 g Plain flour
- ¼ tsp Cinnamon
- ¼ tsp Nutmeg - grated
- 75 g Sultanas - softened in a little boiling water, then drained
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 150c
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy
- Stir in the applesauce. At this point the mixture will look split and curdled. Don't worry, this will rectify as soon as you add the flour.
- Now sift in the flour, bicarb and spices.
- Gently fold into the creamed mixture until all the flour is absorbed.
- Fold in the sultanas.
- Spoon mixture into your lined cake in, levelling with a spatula.
- Bang the tin down on the work surface a couple of times to remove any air bubbles.
- Bake for between 45-50 mins or until a skewer comes out clean.
- Leave to cool on a baking rack for 5 minutes before turning out and leaving to cool completely.
Please note that where the recipe asks for milk, butter or yogurt, this refers to any plant-based version that you prefer.
