Apple Walnut Spice Cake
Equipment
- measuring spoons
- Measuring cups
- Large glass mixing bowl
- 9-inch cake pan
- Whisk
Ingredients
- 1 cup All Purpose Gluten-Free Flour Bob's Red Mill Brand
- 1 tsp Baking powder aluminum-free
- 1/8 tsp Sea Salt pink
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon ground
- 1/4 tsp Nutmeg ground
- 1/8 tsp Allspice ground
- 3/4 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1/4 cup Pure maple syrup pure
- 1/4 cup Coconut oil melted
- 1/4 cup Walnuts chopped
- 1/2 cup apple peeled and chopped
- 1/4 cup Raisins sweetened with juice
- 1 tsp Arrowroot Powder optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease the pan with coconut oil.
- Cut a piece of parchment paper big enough to over lap a bit on the sides of the cake pan to create a flap to help lift the cooked and cooled cake out of the pan easily. Cut a second piece if needed to fit crosswise and over the other two sides just like the first piece. Lightly greasing the pan helps hold the paper in place.
- Lightly grease the parchment paper on top to help make removing the cake go smoothly (optional).
- Using a large glass mixing bowl, whisk together the first five ingredients.
- Using a medium glass mixing bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients.
- Then add in the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and combine well.
- Gently fold in the walnuts, raisons and chopped apples.
- Transfer the batter to the cake pan and bake for 30 - 40 minutes or until a tooth pick comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let cool down for 15 minutes or so.
- Once cooled, use the flaps to left the cake out of the pan in one piece, then peel the paper back from the sides. Dust with arrowroot powder if using. And you may slice directly on the parchment. Enjoy!
Notes
Storage Tips:
Refrigerate in an airtight glass container for up to five days.
Freezes well for up to three months.
Make it nut-free: Omit the walnuts, but if wanting a little crunch, swap them out for raw sunflower seeds.
Need more flavour? Add some ground cloves, ground ginger, extra cinnamon and a pinch of sea salt if desired.
Great toppings you can add: Top with whipped coconut cream, cream cheese, yogurt cheese, coconut or grass-fed ice cream or a little Greek yogurt.
