Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 3 cups apples, peeled, cored, and chopped
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 0.75 cups unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine chopped apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, applesauce, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar. Stir until well mixed.
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 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 remove it from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, slice and serve. Enjoy your Vegan Classic Apple Cake as it is or with a dollop of vegan whipped cream.
