Instructions

- Stir the 1 tablespoon lemon juice into the 1 ½ cups of unsweetened almond milk and let sit.

- Beat the 10 tablespoon butter and 1 cup brown sugar and ½ cup granulated sugar with a whisk or paddle attachment on a high setting until it's creamy and fluffy. Add the ½ cup apple sauce and baking powder mixture and beat on a high setting until it's light and fluffy. Scrape the sides with a spatula if necessary. Add the 1 teaspoon vanilla and the 1 teaspoon molasses and beat until combined. Add one third of the flour mixture and blend until combined. Add one third of the milk and blend until combined. Continue alternating the flour and milk until it’s just combined.

Notes
- NUTRITION DISCLAIMER
- A serving size for us is about a 3-inch square slice.
- Cake flour creates the most tender texture, but you can use all-purpose as well.
- When butter is at room temperature it creates air bubbles, which makes a great texture when the bread is baked.
- If the butter is cold, the fat won’t make those air bubbles. If the butter is too warm, the air bubbles will collapse.
- Don’t be tempted to bring the butter to room temperature in the microwave. The butter will be too warm in spots, and too cold in other areas.
- Alternate the dry ingredients and the milk, don’t pour all of the liquid in at once.
- Adding too much liquid to the creamed butter and sugar will result in the butter becoming saturated and your cake will be heavy and dense because the batter will separate and the liquid will stay on top.
- The flour will ultimately absorb the liquid; however, the cake will be heavy.
- Use a spatula to finish mixing. A spatula will help prevent the batter from being over worked as it’s not as heavy as a spoon.
