Nostalgic cinnamon sugar apple cake

Egg-free, dairy-free and totally vegan, this simple cinnamon sugar apple cake is light and fluffy, loaded with fresh apples, topped with a crunchy cinnamon sugar layer and, of course, made with mayonnaise. Recipe compliments of B-well.

Ingredients

• ⅓ cup B-Well Canola Oil
• 3 tbsp B-Well Tangy Mayonnaise
• ¾ cup almond/plant milk
• 1 ½ cups brown sugar
• 2 ½ cup flour/gluten-free flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp vanilla essence
• 1 ½ cup apples, chopped into small pieces
• 2 tsp cinnamon powder
• 1 tbsp coconut butter
• 4 tbsp coconut nectar
• Coconut flakes, optional

Method

1. Preheat oven to 190˚C.
2. In a large bowl, mix the brown sugar, oil, B-Well Tangy Mayonnaise, vanilla essence and milk until blended and smooth.
3. In another bowl, mix flour, 1 tsp of cinnamon and the baking soda together.
4. Stir together the wet and dry mixture and then fold in the chopped apples.
5. Pour batter into a large greased cake pan or into a separate cupcake tray.
6. Combine the rest of the cinnamon with the coconut butter, coconut nectar, and coconut flakes and sprinkle it evenly over the batter. This will create a crunchy crumble.
7. Bake for 45 minutes and serve warm with cream or ice-cream.
