As you may know, I have recently discovered that I am lactose intolerant. That means that I have to also find new ways to satisfy my sweet tooth, so I am always on the lookout for recipes that do not include dairy. Good vegan recipes, like this Vegan Apple Spice Cake, are always great, as they do not contain any dairy (or eggs for that matter).
This cake is healthy, yet it tastes amazing. It is very moist thanks to the apples in the batter and it is quite low in fat as well. To me, it ticks all the boxes. And you don’t have to be vegan to make a healthier dessert!!
I have already made this Vegan Apple Spice Cake a few times and it always comes out perfect. If you want, you could whip up some frosting to go with it, but I like mine plain.
Serve it with a nice cup of coffee or tea and enjoy!

Ingredients
- 190 gms – 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

Grease and flour a 20x20 cm (8x8 inch) pan, or line it with baking paper. Keep aside.

Recipe Notes
You do NOT need to peel the apples before grating them (although you will want to remove the core).
