Savor the Seasons With This Apple Cake

I would highly recommend making this recipe at any time of year, but its scents and flavors are a little bit more special during the autumn and winter months. Itโ€™s the epitome of a cozy, comforting dessert and will have notes of baked apple and warming spices wafting through your kitchen as it bakes.

Ingredients You’ll Need For This Apple Cake

Cake

Crumble Mixture

  • Nondairy butter spread
  • Golden superfine sugar
  • Plain flour

Topping

  • Apples
  • Anise

How To Make This Vegan Apple Cake

Step 1: Preheat Oven and Prepare Vegan Buttermilk

Preheat your oven to 355 ฬŠF (180 ฬŠC) and line an 8-inch (20-cm) loaf pan with parchment paper.

To make the vegan buttermilk alternative, add the apple cider vinegar to the soy milk, stir and let thicken for 5 minutes.

Step 2: Creating the Batter and Merging Ingredients

Beat the olive oil and sugar together, then stir in the buttermilk, vanilla and grated apple. Sift the self-rising flour, baking powder and baking soda. Add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture along with the cinnamon, mixed spice, ginger and a pinch of salt. Fold the wet and dry ingredients together to combine, then transfer to your loaf pan.

Step 3: Crafting the Crumble and Baking

For the crumble mixture, combine the butter, sugar and plain flour together to form little crumble clusters and scatter these over your loaf. Bake for 40 minutes, until beautifully golden and crisp on top.

Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a cooling rack before topping with sliced apples and star anise and slicing into portions.
