Recipe Equipment
Ingredients
- 3.4 fl. oz. margarine melted (100 ml)
- 1/2 cup apple sauce 160 g
- 1 tbsp. cider vinegar
- 3.4 fl. oz. vanilla soy milk 100 ml
- 1/2 bottle of vanilla flavoring
- 2 1/2 cups spelt flour 300 g
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- pinch of salt
- 1/8 cup agave syrup 50 g
- 2 tbsp. cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp. plant drink e.g. oat milk
- coconut oil for greasing
Toppings
- 1 oz. dark chocolate melted (30 g)
- hazelnuts
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to ~ 350 °F (180 °C).
- First put the liquid ingredients in a bowl: the melted margarine, the apple sauce, the cidar vinegar, the vanilla soy milk, the agave syrup and the vanilla flavoring. Stir the ingredients well.
- Then add the dry ingredients: the spelt flour, the baking powder and the salt. Blend these to a dough. Cocoa powder and the plant drink are initially left out to create the special pattern of the cake later.
- Coat the loaf pan with coconut oil. Pour three quarters of the dough into the loaf pan.
- Mix the remaining dough in the bowl with the cocoa powder and the plant drink (e.g. oat milk) and spread it on the dough in the loaf pan. Use a fork to work the dark dough into the light dough in a spiral shape.
- Now bake the cake in the oven for about 50 minutes. If the cake does not leave any remains when pierced with a fork or a skewer, you can take it out.
- As toppings I put melted dark chocolate and chopped hazelnuts over the finished cake. This is of course only optional! You could also put a delicious chocolate icing over the cake.
