Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Pumpkin puree (unsweetened)
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
In another medium-sized bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, applesauce, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, almond milk, and apple cider vinegar. Whisk until the wet ingredients are smooth and evenly mixed.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can lead to a denser cake.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly using a spatula.
Bake for 30 to 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 before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional: Dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar or frost with your favorite dairy-free icing before serving.
Slice and serve the cake. Enjoy!
