Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 1 zest of a lemon
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk the granulated sugar, unsweetened applesauce, almond milk, vanilla extract, vegetable oil, and lemon zest until well combined.
Stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture gradually, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Add the apple cider vinegar and stir gently. This will react with the baking soda to help the cake rise.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar before serving.
