From more simple classic cakes to unique cheesecakes, this list has a wide range of different cakes to help you mark your special day.

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.

As an environmental scientist, I believe making small changes like choosing eco-friendly bakeware, can make a bigger impact over time.

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.
