vegan gluten free apple cake recipe 2 this recipe

This glorious gluten free vegan apple cake recipe is from my brand new cook book that is coming out in October. I wanted to give you a sneak peak of what to expect. This recipe is all about the gluten free flour mix, it gives this cake the most gorgeous texture, no-one will ever suspect it’s gluten-free. There are a few ingredients in this recipe but it’s so easy to make and you won’t be able to stop eating it.

Description

An easy gluten free vegan apple cake that stays moist and delicious for days… 


Ingredients

INGREDIENTS
Egg replacer
1 tbsp ground flaxseed
2 1/2 tbsp boiling water

Dry Ingredients
3/4 cup buckwheat flour
1/4 cup almond meal
1/4 cup brown rice flour
1/4 cup cornflour or cornstarch
1/2 cup white sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp ground cloves

Wet Ingredients
1 1/3 cup soy milk
1 tbsp vinegar
1/4 cup veggie oil you can use melted coconut oil also
2 tsp vanilla extract

Topping
1 large apple
1/2 cup crushed walnuts
1/2 cup icing sugar
1 tbsp hot water
1 tbsp golden syrup


Instructions

HOW TO MAKE THE CAKE

  1. Preheat your conventional oven to 175C/347F. Grease your 6 inch round cake tin with vegetable oil, then line with baking paper and lightly grease with more vegetable oil. Then dust with a small amount of cornflour or starch. Tap upside down to release any excess flour.
  2. Firstly make your egg replacer, mix the flaxseed with the boiling water and stir. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, sieve all your dry ingredients together and mix together with a whisk.
  4. In a large jug, mix your soy milk and vinegar together until it thickens. Add remaining wet ingredients, including your flaxseed egg, and mix together really well.
  5. Thinly slice your apple and place in a small bowl. Cover apple pieces with a tiny amount of your wet ingredients and then cover with a small amount of the dry ingredients. Put aside 2 tbsp of the flour mix.
  6. Make a well in the centre of your flour mix and pour in your milk mix. Gently mix together using a whisk until just combined. Pour into your cake tin and gently tap on the bench to release air bubbles.
  7. Sprinkle the spare flour mix over the top of the batter. Sprinkle 3⁄4 of the walnuts over the flour. Arrange the apple onto the cake starting from the outside and working your way to the middle.
  8. Bake on the middle rack in the oven for 45-50 mins or until a skewer comes out almost clean. Remove from oven and allow to sit in the cake tin for 10 mins before turning onto a cooling rack.

HOW TO MAKE GLAZE

  1. To make your glaze mix together your icing sugar, water and golden syrup until combined and pour over the top of your cake. Decorate with walnuts. Best served with icecream.

 

Notes

Store this cake in an airtight container NOT in the fridge as it will dry out.

    Hi can I use finger millet flour instead of buckwheat or could you suggest an alternative for the buckwheat flour?

      Hi Rishika, I haven’t experimented with that flour, you may need to test…

    This cake is delicious! I love that most of the sweetness comes from the glaze, so the base cake is not overly sweet. I’ve made it a few times and the feedback has always been extremely positive! I made it again today and after it was in the oven, I noticed the flax egg (‘set aside’ at the beginning of the instructions) staring back at me. Despite this, the structure of the cake was not affected – my guests gobbled it all up and were none the wiser.

    I love this cake – I’ve only made it a couple of times but it’s already a family favourite! A little bit more fiddly than a standard cake with the apple slices on top, but definitely worth the effort. The golden syrup glaze is delicious.

    This looks delicious but how many apples do you need? There’s none on the ingredients list. Also, is there no sugar in the actual cake?
    Thank you 🙂

      Hey Laura
      Thank you! Sorry, it was 11:30pm when I was adding this.
      You need one large apple and 1/2 cup sugar.
      Hope you enjoy the recipe xoxo
