Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 2 tablespoons Matcha green tea powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup Almond milk
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch round cake pan with vegetable oil and line the bottom with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, matcha green tea powder, and salt. Mix well to combine.
In another bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, unsweetened applesauce, almond milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Add the apple cider vinegar to the batter and stir until just incorporated. The batter should be slightly thick and smooth.
Pour the cake batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, slice and serve. This cake can be enjoyed plain or with a cup of tea.
