Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda (natural)
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon (natural)
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg (natural)
  • Pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup plant-based yogurt
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup (natural)
  • 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (natural)

Additional Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups fresh apples, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Dry Ingredients: Combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda (natural), cinnamon (natural), nutmeg (natural), and a pinch of salt in a large mixing bowl. Mixing the dry ingredients first ensures even distribution of the leavening agents and spices.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients Together: In a separate bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, plant-based yogurt, maple syrup (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract (natural) until smooth and well combined. This mixture provides moisture and flavor to the cake base.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Slowly add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients while stirring gently. Be careful not to overmix; stir just until all ingredients are incorporated. The batter should be thick but spreadable.
  4. Fold in Chopped Apples and Natural Gelling Agent: Gently fold in the finely chopped fresh apples and sprinkle the natural gelling agent evenly throughout the batter. This step ensures a luscious juiciness and the perfect tender crumb in the cake.
  5. Bake Until Golden and Set: Pour the batter into a greased cake pan and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 40 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool before serving for the best texture.

Notes

  • Use fresh, crisp apples such as Granny Smith to balance sweetness and maintain moisture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid a dense cake.
  • Use rolled oats instead of instant oats for the best texture.
  • Check oven temperature with a thermometer for consistent baking.
  • Allow the cake to cool fully to set firmly and make slicing easier.
