Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1.5 cups mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In another bowl, beat together the sugar, applesauce, and vegetable oil until well combined.
Add the vanilla extract and almond milk to the wet ingredients, stirring until mixed.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Gently fold in the mixed berries and lemon zest, being careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
