Instructions
Grease the loaf pan with vegetable oil and dust with flour, tapping off the excess flour.
Mix flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Mix applesauce, soy milk, vegetable oil and vanilla.
Add the liquid applesauce mixture to the dry flour mixture and mix just briefly to form a thick dough.
Pour the dough into the loaf pan, spread apple slices on top and sprinkle a little cinnamon on top. Bake the cake in a preheated oven at 180 °C top and bottom heat for about 50 minutes.
Let the vegan applesauce cake cool down in the loaf pan, then take it out and let it cool down completely. Sprinkle lightly with powdered sugar.
Notes
You can adjust the amount of sugar to taste, depending also on how sweet the applesauce is.
You can adjust the amount of cinnamon to your liking or omit cinnamon completely.
Instead of soy milk, you can use another plant milk.
In no case stir the dough too long, but only briefly until a homogeneous consistency. Otherwise, the vegan applesauce cake might taste firm instead of fluffy after baking.
Do not bake the apple puree cake longer than necessary, otherwise it might taste dry and not moist. Use a wooden skewer to check if it is done baking.
