Irish Apple Cake (Dairy-Free)

Ingredients

• 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
• 2 tsp Baking Powder
• 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
• 1/4 tsp Salt
• 1/2 cup Dairy-Free Butter (softened)
• 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
• 2 Eggs
• 1/2 cup Unsweetened Applesauce
• 2 Apples (peeled and diced)
• 1 tsp Cinnamon

Instructions

1. 1Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9-inch round baking pan.
2. 2In a large bowl, whisk together the 2 cups All-Purpose Flour, 2 tsp Baking Powder, 1/2 tsp Baking Soda, and 1/4 tsp Salt until they are evenly mixed.
3. 3In a separate large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the 1/2 cup softened Dairy-Free Butter and 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar together for 2 to 3 minutes, until the mixture looks light and fluffy.
4. 4Add the 2 Eggs to the butter and sugar mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then, stir in the 1/2 cup Unsweetened Applesauce until everything is just combined.
5. 5Add about half of the dry ingredient mixture (from step 2) to the wet ingredients (from step 4) and mix on low speed until just combined. Then add the remaining dry ingredient mixture and mix again until just combined, being careful not to overmix the batter.
6. 6Gently fold in the 2 peeled and diced Apples and 1 tsp Cinnamon until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
7. 7Pour the batter evenly into the prepared 9-inch round baking pan. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes at 350°F (175°C); the cake is ready when a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. 8Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, carefully turn the cake out of the pan onto the wire rack to cool completely.
