Ingredients
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- ⅔ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ tsp ground allspice
- 1 ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups peeled and chopped apples (about 2 medium apples)
- ⅓ cup plain dairy-free milk (almond, soy, oat, etc.)
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9-inch cake pan with parchment paper.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice.
-
In another mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir until well combined.
-
Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, and pour in the dairy-free milk. Stir a few times, then fold in the apples. Stir until just combined.
-
Pour the batter into the parchment-lined cake pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick pulls out clean from the center. Let cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then flip onto a cooling rack or plate to continue cooling. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
- This is a simple and moderately sweetened apple cake. If you’re craving a sweeter cake, try adding a topping. Mix ¼ cup sugar, 2 tablespoons melted dairy free butter, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and ¼ cup chopped pecans. Dollop that on top of the cake before baking. It adds extra richness, sweetness, and a little crunch.
