Directions
Apple Spice Cake
- Begin by preheating the oven to 350°.
- Prepare the baking pan with non-stick cooking spray to avoid your cake from sticking to your pan.
- In a pot over low heat, combine the soy milk and apple cider vinegar. Whisk them together until you begin to see the milk curdle. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder, all-spice, cinnamon, ginger, and sea salt together. Set aside.
- Transfer the curdled milk to a mixing bowl.
- Combine the brown sugar, Nature’s Flavors Coconut Oil, Nature’s Flavors Organic Vanilla Extract, and Nature’s Flavors Organic Molasses with the curdled milk. Mix until it’s all smooth. Set aside.
- Peel the apple and shred it until you have enough for one cup. We used one large apple.
- Add the liquid ingredients and shredded apple into the dry ingredients. Fold until the batter is well combined.
- Pour the mixture into your baking pan. Make sure the top is even to ensure that the top of the cake is smooth.
- Bake the cake for 20-25 minutes or until a fork/toothpick come out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool before removing it from the cake pan.
- Once cooled, flip the cake onto your desired cake stand/plate.
Rum Buttercream Frosting
- Beat the vegan butter until it becomes fluffy. It’s best to do this when the butter is at room temperature.
- Once the butter becomes fluffy, beat in Nature’s Flavors Organic Powdered Sugar.
- Add in milk, Nature’s Flavors Organic Vanilla Extract, and Nature’s Flavors Organic Rum Flavor Extract.
- Cover the Apple Spice Cake with the Rum Buttercream Frosting.
- Press small handfuls of chopped pecans along the sides of the cake.
- Enjoy your Vegan Apple Spice Cake with Rum Buttercream Frosting!
