Spiced Apple Cake (vegan & gluten-free)

October 11, 2020 By Hana 2 Comments

Spiced Apple Cake (vegan & gluten-free)

Today I have a couple of lovely autumnal recipes for you, one sweet and one savoury. I’ve made this simple Spiced Apple Cake couple of weeks ago and because apples are in season now, a good old apple cake is the best thing to bake now.

The recipe is a variation of my other apple cake recipes, but you can never have enough in your collection.

This time I’ve used oat flour and opted out from using starch in my gluten-free mix. I know that some of you love using oat flour and some of you can’t tolerate it. I try to use it sparingly, but if that is the case please follow this recipe for my Vegan Apple Cake. It gives you another gluten-free mix option. You can replace the teff flour with buckwheat flour.

I’ve used about 3 small apples, you can use more if you like the cake to be really apple rich. It’s also lovely topped with a generous amount of flaked almonds. I’ve served mine with some vegan creme fraiche for extra indulgence and it was delicious.  

Hope you love it!

Sending much Love

    One quick question. Do the 2 tbls flax seed plus water equal 2 eggs? And can I use eggs, or will that affect the texture of the cake? It sounds delicious, and I love all those spices together. Fall is my favorite time to bake! Thank you.

      Hi Alene, yes, it equals roughly 2 regular eggs. If you’re using regular eggs you can leave out the apple sauce, I add it for extra binding. And if needed add extra almond milk. It’ll be great with regular eggs too. I have actually an old recipe with eggs on the blog for this cake if you like to see it here. Hope you like it :)

Happy New Year beautiful! ✨ I’m feeling that Happy New Year beautiful! ✨

I’m feeling that this is the year we all need to ease into. Use this sacred pause we’re in until the 5th of January to really go within and listen deeply to what are you being called to birth this year. Forget creating goals from your ego. What are those whispers of your soul calling you to? Is it time to take the lead in your life? ✨

If this year is a continuation of 2020 we will need more conscious embodied leaders taking charge to create the change our planet needs. It’s us who create the future. ✨

Now that many of us are awake we need conscious women and men to walk together hand in hand! We’ve got this! 

✨🕊✨

Sending so much Love Hana xx

What dessert are you making this year? To be honest I’ve got my gingerbread cookies stored in fridge, the leftover chocolate cranberry orange cake in freezer so I’m quite sorted! But still pondering whether to make the gingerbread cheesecake. And just have written a new recipe for a lentil nut roast which I’m really looking forward to making on Christmas Day. 🎄

Chocolate Cranberry Orange Cake 🌱 @amoredimona Chocolate Cranberry Orange Cake 🌱 @amoredimona has challenged me to create vegan, grain-free and nut-free chocolate recipe and so I took on the challenge with this layer cake. And I have finally experienced with cassava and tigernut flours, something I’ve been wanting to do for ages. If you fancy some grain-free baking check out the recipe on the blog. 😉

Have a wonderful weekend beautiful! ✨

Sending much love Hxx 🕊
