Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 cup Almond milk (or any non-dairy milk)
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
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 mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, and salt until well blended.
In another bowl, combine the brown sugar, applesauce, and vegetable oil. Mix until well combined.
Add the almond milk, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar to the wet ingredients, stirring until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with the back of a spoon or spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the cake plain, or frost with your favorite vegan frosting once it's completely cool.
