Vegan Orange Apple Cake
This vegan apple cake was a delightful surprise. Initially, we didn't expect much, but the result was astonishing: a cake with a wonderfully tender texture, all without using eggs, butter, or dairy.
I highly recommend this cake, not only during fasting periods but any time you crave something delicious, light, and fluffy. It’s simple to make, and no one will suspect it's a vegan apple cake.
You can also use the cake base for other fruit desserts, muffins, or even a vegan sponge cake!
In a bowl, combine 200ml of orange juice, 70ml of oil, 130g of sugar, and vanilla essence.
Add 250g of flour, 10g of baking powder, and the grated zest of a lemon or orange.
Use a whisk to mix the dough thoroughly until it's smooth and free of lumps.
Wash the apples, remove the core, and cut them into medium-sized cubes, approximately 1x1cm.
Line a baking tray about 26cm in diameter with baking paper, and grease it lightly with oil.
Pour the batter into the pan and smooth it with a spoon.
Arrange the apple cubes on top.
Press them gently into the batter with a spoon, then optionally sprinkle with powdered cinnamon.
Bake the cake in a preheated oven at 200 degrees for about 45 minutes, or until evenly browned.
Allow it to cool completely before serving, if you can wait, and enjoy!
You can dust with powdered sugar for decoration, if desired.
Notice the tender and fluffy texture.
Bon appétit!
