Ingredients Note

The structure of the cake is coming from the almond flour and the gluten-free flour. Almond flour contributes to the fat content in the recipe as well.
The gluten-free flour used in this recipe is 100% gluten-free. I have used CUP 4 CUP gluten-free flour. Oat flour will work.
Brown sugar is GF and vegan, and not only makes the cake sweeter, but it also gives a lot of flavor and moisture to the cake.
Coconut sugar is less sweet than brown sugar, and it has a very soft coconut flavor. it also has a lot of nutrients as opposed to granulated sugar. Some of these nutrients contain minerals like iron, zinc, calcium, potassium, and fiber.
Cinnamon & clove are what are used in this cake Apple Spice Vegan Cake. The aroma of the apple and the spices make this cake very aromatic.
Non-dairy milk that I use in this recipe is unsweetened coconut milk. This ingredient adds flavor and calcium to the recipe.
Vegan butter that I am using here is the Earth Balance original. There are other vegan butters in the market that you can use. Miyoko's vegan butter is a good one.

For The Fruit

I have used apple, but other fruits such as pear or peach can also be used.

Apple, Last but not least ingredient is the apple which is the main flavor in this cake. I have used Fuji apples, but you can use any brands such as Golden Delicious, Pink lady or Granny Smith, etc.
