Instruções
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 9-inch x 13-inch pan with parchment paper and lightly oil paper. You can also use a 10-inch round pan, but the cake takes longer to bake and comes out thicker.
- In a medium bowl, stir almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Set aside 5 minutes until it curdles. This is the vegan buttermilk.
- In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and salt. Set aside.
- In another large bowl, whisk the vegan buttermilk made before, melted vegan butter, unsweetened apple sauce, and soft brown sugar.
- Stir the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients until a smooth cake batter forms. Don't over-stir it.
- Fold in the chopped apples and transfer the cake batter into the prepared pan.
- To make the toppings, place the softened vegan butter, vanilla, sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl. Press with a fork or crumble between your fingertips until it resembles a crumbly buttery mixture.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar all over the top of the vegan apple cake.
- Sprinkle slivered almonds and place some of the apple slices on the cake.
- Bake on the center rack of the oven for 50 to 80 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. If the top browns too fast, tent the pan with a large piece of foil.
- Let the cake cool down for 15 minutes in the pan before transferring it to a cooling rack.
- Cool completely before slicing, and decorate with icing sugar if desired.
Armazenamento

I made this cake last night, I didn’t have enough apples so added pears. Its delicious and looks just like the picture. I think it tastes even nicer the next day. Loved it.
I also like to say I love your all recipes, have you written a book on all of your recipes that we see on all your websites because i would buy one. it would be so much easier for me to use it in my kitchen. can you reply to all my messages please. thankyou.
I am so happy to have you hear on the website. I don’t have a cookbook yet, it’s a dream of mine to publish my recipes so you can have my cookbook in your kitchen. I will let you know if it comes out.
thankyou for your reply about a recipe book, perhaps in the near future. I was asking you on another one of my comments how does all your recipes hold their shape wthout butter and eggs? It’s very interesting, because I really don’t like the smell of eggs in cookies and slices and cakes. so how does a cake rise to a higher and fluffy level? thankyou so much for reading my long message Carine
What makes a cake rise is not eggs, or butter. It’s all about chemistry. Cakes rise without eggs or butter mainly through chemical leavening agents like baking soda and baking powder, which react to produce carbon dioxide gas. This gas, along with expanding steam from the liquid ingredients, gets trapped by the flour’s gluten network, creating a light and fluffy texture.
Oh yessss! I’ve been wanting a Vegan Apple Cake recipe!!! I’m definitely going to be trying this recipe! I’m honestly not really a baker but it’s soooo hard to find already made foods that taste good that are safe for me, so here I go becoming a little baker! lol Wish me luck! Thank you for all your delicious recipes!

Could this be made gluten free?
Possibly, but I haven’t tried, so I can’t confirm for sure.
I made this in a 9″ springform pan and baked it for 80 minutes. It was delicious. Perfect way to ring in the first day of fall!
What does it mean, 9 inch x 13 inch tin? Thanks in advance.
It’s 23cm by 33cm or thereabout.
So it’s a rectangular tin.
Have you tried it with a 10-inch round tin? If yes, how much longer does it bake?
Yes, it’s a regular pan, if you use a 10-inch pan, which is larger than my mine, it will bake faster probably around 5 minutes faster.
Very good , easy and delicious recipe
Will do it several times
Hi! Can you swap the flour for oat or almond flour? Is there a sweetener swap you could recommend for the sugar? Thank you!
I haven’t tried oat flour, but I suspect it might be a bit dry with it. For the sweetener, you can use unrefined coconut sugar, or sugar-free crystal sweeteners.
The recipe calls for fresh ginger, which is gingerroot, but in the photos, it appears to be dried ground ginger. The ginger link from the recipe also shows gingerroot. Could you please clarify?
I’ve made the recipe with both, and both work well
Nice cake I did cut the sugar down and still tastes good. I couldn’t find where in the recipe it says to add the ginger and cinnamon
Thank you! I’ve clarified the instructions 😉
