Green Tip: Look for non-toxic, Teflon-free bakeware when preparing to bake your cakes! Chemicals used to create harmful non-stick bakeware are detrimental pollutants to our environment.

8+ Delicious Cakes for Every Occasion, Including Vegan Apple Cake
Equipment
Ingredients
Vegan Apple Cake
- 1 ½ cups light brown sugar
- ¼ cup coconut oil (in solid form)
- ¼ cup apple sauce
- 1 cup nondairy milk (I use coconut milk)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 4 sweet apples, shredded (I use Gala)
Streusel Topping
- ¼ cup non-dairy butter, melted
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup light or dark brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup powdered sugar to sprinkle on top (optional)
Instructions
Vegan Apple Cake
- Preheat an oven to 350°F and line or grease an 11-inch cake pan (springform preferred).
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the sugar and oil together until well combined.
- Add apple sauce, milk, and vanilla extract and mix well.
- With your hand mixer on low, add flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until a thick batter forms and set aside.
- Peel the skin off the apples and use a cheese grater to shred the apple into a large mixing bowl.
- Use a spatula to fold the shredded apple into the cake batter.
- Pour the batter into your prepped cake pan and set it aside to prepare your streusel.
Streusel Topping (Optional)
- Melt the butter in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until completely liquefied.
- Add butter to a mixing bowl with brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt. Use a whisk to combine, forming a crumbly mixture. If your mixture isn't crumbly, add a little more flour, about 1 tablespoon at a time, until it is nice a crumbly.
- Use clean hands to crumble the mixture on top of your cake.
- Bake cake for 30-40 minutes, until toothpick comes out clean. Sprinkle with powdered sugar (optional) and enjoy!
Pro Tips
- Grate your apple last to avoid it from browning.
