I love applesauce cake! If you’ve never had one, it’s kinda like a spice cake. My Great-Aunt Audrey used to make it for me anytime I would visit her. Here is my vegan version.

Ingredients

• 2 cups flour
• 2 tsp baking soda
• 2 tsp apple pie spice
• 1/4 tsp ginger powder
• 1/4 tsp cloves
• 1/2 cup vegan margarine, softened
• 1 cup raw sugar
• egg replacer equivalent to 2 eggs
• 1 1/2 cups applesauce
• 1/4 cup apple juice

Directions

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Whisk together dry ingredients (flour through cloves), set aside
• Combine margarine, sugar and egg replacer and mix with a hand mixer until light and fluffy.
• Add applesauce and apple juice and mix until combined.
• Add dry ingredients and mix well.
• Pour into well greased 13×9 baking pan and bake for 35-45 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean
• Cool in pan and serve.

*NOTE: This cake is extra yummy with some maple frosting on it! You can find a recipe for maple frosting in one of my favorite cookbooks: Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World
