- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground nutmeg
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups peeled and diced applesFor the caramel sauce:
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp vegan butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
steps
- 1.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease three 6-inch round cake pans. Set aside.
- 2.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- 3.
In a separate bowl, mix almond milk, vegetable oil, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract.
- 4.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the diced apples.
- 5.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cake pans. Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow cakes to cool in pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- 6.
To make the caramel sauce, combine the coconut milk, brown sugar, vegan butter, vanilla extract, and salt in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- 7.
Once the cakes have cooled, drizzle each layer with the caramel sauce, allowing it to soak into the cake.
- 8.
Stack the cake layers on top of each other, ensuring an even distribution of caramel sauce between the layers.
- 9.
Drizzle the remaining caramel sauce over the top of the cake, letting it cascade down the sides.
- 10.
Garnish with apple slices, cinnamon sticks, or edible flowers, if desired.
