Categories     Dessert

Time 1h10m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1 golden delicious apple, peeled cored and pureed
1/4 vegetable oil
1/2 cup whole milk (substitute with soy milk or almond milk)
2 tablespoons baking powder
1/4 tablespoon salt
vanilla or 1 tablespoon rose essence

Steps:

  • 1.Combine the flour, salt and baking powder. Sieve and keep aside.
  • 2. In a blender combine well the pureed apple, vegetable oil and the powdered sugar.
  • 3. Add the essence at this stage and mix briefly. You may also use plain vanilla instead of the rose I used.
  • 4. Add the four and the milk alternatively and blend briefly, just enough to fluff the mixture.
  • 5.Grease a standard round/ square baking pan. I used 2 ceramic bowls and a cup cake tray. Bake for 25- 30 minutes in a preheated oven at 350 degrees.
  • Tips:.
  • a. Puree the apples just before you start mixing. Else it turns brown. You may try using store bought apple sauce, but then you might want to cut down on the sugar so it is not too sweet. Let me know how it turns out:-).
  • b. 1 Golden delicious apple substitutes 2 egg whites.
  • Celsius To know if the cake is done insert a tooth pick and it should come clean.

Tips for Making the Best Vegetarian Cakes:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor and texture of your cake.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough and dense.
  • Bake the cake at the correct temperature and for the correct amount of time. Underbaking or overbaking can ruin the cake.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • Be creative with your decorations. You can use fresh fruits, nuts, or flowers to decorate your cake.

Vegetarian cakes are a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all dietary preferences.
