Low Fat Vegan Apple Cake

I made an apple cake last weekend for Rosh Hashanah. I suppose the responsible thing to do would be to post it before the holiday was over, but it's a good fall cake too! It's dense, which I like in a bundt cake. The texture is great and it holds up well.



Low Fat Vegan Apple Cake
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Bake time: 45 minutes

Serves 12-18

• 1/4 c. flax meal mixed with 1/4 c. water
• 3 c. all purpose flour
• 1 t. baking soda
• 1/4 t. salt
• 1/2 c. sugar
• 1  heaping t. cinnamon
• 1/2 t. cardamom
• 1 c. applesauce
• 1/4 c. canola oil
• 1/4 c. maple syrup
• 2 t. vanilla
• 3 apples, chopped

Preheat oven to 350. In a small bowl combine flax meal and water and beat vigorously until well combined. In a mixing bowl combine flour, baking soda, sugar, salt, and spices. Add the flax mixture, applesauce, oil, syrup, and vanilla, stirring as you go. The batter will be very thick, so if you have a stand or handheld mixer, this is a good time to use it. Fold in the apples (I used two granny smith and one Gala and I didn't bother to peel them). Grease a bundt pan and transfer the cake batter to the bundt pan. Use a rubber spatula to pat it down. Bake for about 45 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the cake comes out clean.

Shana Tovah! And I won't judge if you eat a slice for breakfast... I mean, it is a holiday.
