Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup apple cider
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup chopped apples
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal of the cake.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Whisk these dry ingredients together until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the apple cider and vegetable oil. Stir until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently fold them together using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Fold in the chopped apples, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cake is completely cooled, slice it into 12 servings. Enjoy your Vegan Apple Cider Coffee Cake as a delicious snack or dessert!
Tips
- Use fresh, crisp apples for the best texture and flavor - varieties like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith work wonderfully.
- Don't overmix the batter; this can lead to a tough, dense cake. Mix just until ingredients are combined.
- For extra moisture, ensure your apple cider is at room temperature before mixing.
- Check the cake's doneness by inserting a toothpick - it should come out clean with just a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing to help it set and maintain its structure.
- Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for extended freshness.
- For a more decadent touch, consider adding a light glaze or dusting of powdered sugar before serving.
