sugar-free spiced apple cake (vegan)
I was stressing out about this for a week, trying to create a vegan, diabetic-friendly cake recipe for a coworker's birthday. Finally I baked it last night, and continued fretting all morning until cake time came, and it turned out to be moist and just sweet enough.
sugar-free, vegan, spiced-apple cake
ingredients:
1 cup SR flour
1/2 cup SR wholemeal flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp vanilla essence
About 1/2 cup applesauce
1 tsp olive oil or melted nuttlex
1 cup soy milk
1 to 1 1/2 apples (peeled, grated)
1/4 cup sultanas
method:
Sieve and mix all the dry ingredients together. In order, mix in the vanilla essence, applesauce, nuttlex, soy milk, apples and sultanas. Combine well, but don't over mix. I overmixed, and it made the outside a little rubbery when it was cooling.
You can either bake as muffins (15-20 min) or as a cake (just under 40 min) at 180C. You can eat it plain, but it would work with almond flakes sprinkled on top.
