This is the second time that I have made a foray into vegetarian / vegan baking. My first attempt was baking vegetarian seaweed cookies and I was pleasantly surprised at how the cookies turned out.
When my friend Hamtaro and her sons, Eddy and Eddie came to our home for lunch, I decided to take the opportunity to bake a vegan apple cake. Although they are vegetarian, there are some types of food that vegetarians do eat which they choose not to eat, such as eggs. As I was not certain whether they consumed margarine, I decided to "play it safe" by omitting eggs and margarine when I baked the apple cake.
Even if you are not a vegetarian / vegan, do give this a recipe a try. The cake is moist and delicious.
INGREDIENTS1 1/2 cups plain flour
1 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup castor sugar
1 cup apple juice
1/2 cup vegetable oil
METHOD1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees celsius.
2. Grease the bottom and sides of an 8" round cake pan with vegetable oil. Line the bottom of the cake pan with baking paper and flour the sides of the cake pan with a little plain flour.
3. Sift the plain flour, bicarbonate of soda and salt in a bowl. Set aside.
4. Mix the sugar, apple juice and vegetable oil in a mixing bowl using a hand whisk.
5. Fold in the flour mixture and mix using the hand whisk until blended.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean.
7. Let the cake cool in the cake pan for 5 minutes before removing the cake and letting the cake cool thoroughly on a wire rack.
