Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Orange juice
- 1 tablespoon Grated orange zest
- 1 tablespoon White vinegar
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, and salt. Whisk until well blended.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, mix together the unsweetened applesauce, maple syrup, brown sugar, vanilla extract, orange juice, orange zest, and white vinegar until smooth and well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon. Mix until just combined and no dry pockets of flour remain. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, slice and serve as is or dust with a bit of powdered sugar for garnish if desired. Enjoy!
