Ingredients

Scale

For the Cake Batter

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cinnamon (natural)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup brown sugar (natural)
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 3/4 cup plant-based yogurt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (natural)
  • 2 cups fresh apples, peeled, cored, and diced

For the Cinnamon Streusel Topping

  • 1/3 cup plant-based butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (natural)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon (natural)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Apples: Peel, core, and dice fresh apples into small chunks to ensure they melt into the cake while baking but still provide bursts of fruity flavor.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon (natural), and salt to form a smooth and even base for your batter.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the plant-based yogurt, vegetable oil, vanilla extract (natural), and brown sugar (natural) until smooth and well combined.
  4. Blend Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring carefully. Then fold in the diced apples, distributing them evenly without overmixing to keep the cake light and tender.
  5. Make the Cinnamon Streusel Topping: Mix plant-based butter, brown sugar (natural), cinnamon (natural), flour, and natural gelling agent until crumbly, creating a golden, crunchy layer to sprinkle on top.
  6. Assemble and Bake: Pour the batter into a greased baking pan, sprinkle the cinnamon streusel topping evenly over the surface, and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for approximately 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Notes

  • Use fresh apples for juiciness and enhanced flavor.
  • Do not overmix the batter to maintain a light and tender texture.
  • Chill the streusel topping before use to preserve its crumbly texture.
  • Test doneness by carefully inserting a toothpick near the center without disturbing the cake.
  • Allow the cake to cool slightly before serving to let flavors meld and texture set.
