Apple vegan cake
Apple vegan cake is a delicious, egg-less and dairy-free cake. Apple Vegan Cake is easy and basic. Cake has a soft and moist texture. It is hard to believe that this is vegan.
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (maida, plain flour)
- 1-1/2 Tbsp corn starch (corn flour)
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/3 cup oil (canola or any vegetable oil)
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1-1/2 cups apple sauce
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 Tbsp powdered sugar (for garnishing)
- Pre heat the oven to 350°F
- Square 8- inch cake pan, line with parchment paper and grease bottom and sides of the pan.
- Mix the dry ingredients together except sugar, flour, corn starch, baking soda, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt.
In a different bowl whisk oil and sugar together for about [timer minutes=2]2 minutes[/timer] add apple sauce and vanilla extract mix it well.
- Add the dry ingredients to apple mix and mix it together gently making sure all the ingredients mix together well.
Pour the mixture to cake pan and bake around [timer minutes=28]28 minutes[/timer], until cake begins to pull away from sides and/or toothpick inserted in the center pulls out clean.
Let it sit for about [timer minutes=20]20 minutes[/timer] bring to room temperature and slice the cake into 16 square pieces.
- Before serving lightly dust with powder sugar.

January 18, 2019 at 3:06 amFor my first foray into vegan baking, I tried this recipe as it had straightforward ingredients and egg replacements that I had to hand. Such a lovely cake, light, moist and not too sweet for my taste. A real hit with the non-vegans as well as the vegans.

January 11, 2018 at 10:25 amI loved this cake. It’s simple, delicious and very moist. My only problem was with the baking time. At 28 minutes it was extremely under-baked. I added about 10 minutes to the time, and it was still slightly underdone. Next time, I’ll bake it longer, maybe 45 minutes. But loved the flavor and added walnuts for some crunch. Yum! Thank you Manjula for another great recipe!

January 13, 2018 at 6:39 pmSelena, I think it because of the oven

November 16, 2017 at 11:24 amI absolutely love this recipe! I’ve tried it twice now and it always comes out perfect! I replaced sugar with brown sugar, and used 1 TBSP of cinnamon. I’ll never use boxed spice cake again.

November 16, 2017 at 12:33 amI made this last week after seeing this on your YouTube channel and here. It was fantastic!! I followed your recipe exactly, except I only had self rising flour, so I cut out the salt and baking soda (should I still add it to make it more like yours, even with self rising flour?). It had to be cooked about 15 minutes longer than listed (I think mainly due to a slight warp on my oven door, causing it to gap open about 1/16 of an inch. It still turned out done, but gooey (not the sticky, nasty way) on the inside, and crispy/chewy on the outside. I loved it!! Being a vegan for 18 years now, (since I was a teen) I’m very dedicated to this lifestyle, and love adding in new recipes. I’m making it again tomorrow, but I’m a bit low on sugar, I do hope it turns out like last time, but more cakey like yours would be fantastic too. Thanks so much for sharing this vegan gem!

March 11, 2017 at 7:18 pmThanks, Manjula, for a super easy recipe. The cake turned out great. I might reduce the oil the next time, since it seemed a bit too moist. I had to bake a few minutes longer since the center of the cake took longer to set. I plan on trying pumpkin puree next time. Perhaps even a bit of oat flour and white whole wheat flour. This recipe seems very adaptable to other variations. Thank you!

February 13, 2017 at 7:32 pmManjula, in my family we don’t consume oil (any kind). How can I replace it? Maybe more apple sauce? thanks for the amazing recipes!!
Manjula Jain

January 27, 2017 at 12:03 amDear Manjula , thanks for this recipe. Very new and innovative. Can you please list the oils that can be used for baking cakes . I am in India.
Didina
February 4, 2017 at 2:54 pmAparna, coconut oil should work, you could also try peanut, sunflower or rapeseed oil, but they contain a lot of omega 6 so I prefer sticking to oils that contain less of them (if you are vegetarian you probably get enough omega 6 already)

October 6, 2016 at 10:52 pmIf we don’t have oven then how will v cook the cake
Greeg Yooona
October 30, 2016 at 9:41 amYou can make vegan apple cake without oven, but it won’t taste very good. if you don’t have oven I recommend leaving out every thing except the apple sauce. Just eat the apple sauce. Let us know how it turned out.
Chera
January 7, 2017 at 9:09 pmGreeg, some cakes can be baked on low heat in the pressure cooker. That is why Sunita was asking. There is a time and place for sarcasm and this is not it.
Manjula, Thank you for this. I made it in bundt pan. It came out beautiful and delicious.
Jay
October 6, 2016 at 1:55 pmLovely recipe. Can we make the same recipe without any gluten in it. If yes then what substitute would you recommend?
Thank you

Denis

Sarika
October 6, 2016 at 6:17 amCan we use extravergin olive oil which is indicated for baking and cooking??
Manjula Jain
October 6, 2016 at 7:53 amSarika, yes
Didina
February 4, 2017 at 2:59 pmYes you can but be careful that your oil is light-tasting, otherwise it could leave a strong olive taste. It happened to me once and it ruined the cake. But light EVO oil is fantastic for baking.
