1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
⅛ tsp salt

Cake Wet Ingredients

120 ml (½ cup) soy milk or other non-dairy milk
1½ tsp apple cider vinegar
120 grams (½ cup) apple grated
66 grams (⅓ cup) granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
35 grams (3 tbsp) vegetable, canola, avocado, or olive oil
45 grams (3 tbsp) walnut butter
2 medium apples peeled and diced

Cinnamon Sugar

1 tbsp granulated sugar
½ tsp ground cinnamon

Glaze

80 grams (⅔ cup) powdered sugar
1 tbsp soy milk

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C. Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Whisk dry ingredients together in a large mixing bowl.
105 grams (¾ cup + 2 tbsp) all purpose flour, 90 grams (¾ cup) whole wheat flour, 1 tsp baking powder, ½ tsp baking soda, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, ⅛ tsp salt
In a separate bowl, whisk together all wet ingredients except diced apples.
120 ml (½ cup) soy milk, 1½ tsp apple cider vinegar, 120 grams (½ cup) apple, 66 grams (⅓ cup) granulated sugar, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 35 grams (3 tbsp) vegetable, canola, avocado, or olive oil, 45 grams (3 tbsp) walnut butter
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined and no dry flour is left.
Add half the diced apples to the batter and fold into the batter to distribute.
Spread the batter into the lined baking pan. Gently drop the pan on the counter a few times to remove any large air bubbles. Distribute the remaining apples on top, gently pressing them into the top of the batter.
Mix together cinnamon sugar and sprinkle over the apples.
1 tbsp granulated sugar, ½ tsp ground cinnamon
Bake: Place on the middle rack of your oven and bake for 45-60 minutes, until the top is firm and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs (but no wet batter). Tent the pan with foil if the apples on top start to burn.
Glaze: Place the baking pan on a wire rack. Mix together the glaze and drizzle over the cake while still warm. You can add more milk to the glaze if you want it thinner.
80 grams (⅔ cup) powdered sugar, 1 tbsp soy milk
Cool: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then use the sides of the parchment paper to carefully remove the cake from the pan. Place the cake on the wire rack to cool completely.
Store: Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can also cut into individual slices and freeze for up to 3 months.
