2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon cloves
1/2 cup vegan maple syrup
1/2 cup unrefined corn oil
1 cup diced apples, unpeeled (if organic)
1/3 cup (approx.) apple juice
Directions:Place dry ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Mix wet ingredients together and add to dry. Place in an 8 round, slightly greased, spring form pan.
Topping: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (or nut of your choice) 1/2 tsp cinnamon 2 Tbsp rice syrup or maple syrup 1 tsp unrefined corn oil
Mix together and spread evenly over cake. (You may have to wet fingers to spread mixture evenly.)
Bake at 350F for 40-45 minutes. Cool and serve.
(This recipe works equally well with pears. Just add 1 tsp ginger to cake and 1/2 tsp ginger to topping.)
Instead of above topping, spread with favourite jam or apple butter and put nuts in cake.

This cake is really scrummy...not to sweet, but not sadly bland like many vegan cakes. I love it.

RE:rather fatty, just eat with a low fat meal... Try substituting equal amount of applesauce for the oil, and you can eat it with any kind of a meal! Very good cake.

I've been making this recipe for years and have won many many hearts with it!
I replace the almonds with walnuts. Yummy!!!

What a yummy cake!!! I substituted half the oil called for with flaxseed oil and the other half olive oil. At least that way I don't have to feel guilty about how fatty it is. I wish I'd read the suggestion about the applesauce before making it. Sounds like a good alternative.

I reduced the fat by adding 1/2 the oil (I used walnut oil) called for in the recipe and substituted for the other half organic unsweetened apple sauce. I'd recommend adding another cup of apples to create more moistness in the cake. I also soaked 1/2 cup of sundried cranberries in the apple juice (use about a 1/2 cup to yield the 1/3 c required in the recipe)and added both the berries and reserved juice. Try this recipe with pecans, too. Everyone loved it!

I used sliced almonds instead of walnuts. The taste was wonderful, but it was very dry. Any suggestions?
