Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour - 185 grams
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
- ¾ cup applesauce - unsweetened
- ¼ cup oil - use oil which has a neutral taste and flavor
- ¾ cup raw sugar or regular white sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or 1 teaspoon vanilla powder or 1 scraped vanilla bean
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or regular vinegar or lemon juice
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, take applesauce, oil and sugar.
- With a wired whisk, stir this mixture so well that the oil is incorporated evenly.
- Now add the apple cider vinegar or regular vinegar or lemon juice to this wet mixture.
- Preheat the oven for 15 minutes at 180 degrees C/356 degrees F before you begin baking the cake.
- Sieve the dry ingredients - all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder and a pinch of salt directly in the bowl having the wet ingredients.
- Add vanilla powder or scraped vanilla bean or vanilla extract.
- Fold the dry ingredients in the wet ingredients lightly. Don't over do.
- The batter should feel light.
- Pour the batter in the prepared pan.
- Bake at 180 degrees C/356 degrees F in a preheated oven for 35 to 40 mins.
- Once baked and a toothpick inserted comes out clean, remove the cake from the pan after it cools a bit and then place on a wired rack or tray for the sponge cake to cool down.
- Each oven has a different baking time, so keep this in mind. The cake can take less or more time in your oven to bake.
- Slice and serve this eggless cake with milk, tea or coffee.
