– 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease an 8-inch round cake pan.
2. Whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp baking powder, 2 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp nutmeg, 1/4 tsp cloves, and 1/2 tsp salt in a large bowl.
3. Pour 1 cup unsweetened applesauce, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 1/4 cup almond milk, and 1 tsp vanilla extract into the dry ingredients.
4. Mix gently until just combined—overmixing makes the cake dense.
5. Fold in 1 1/2 cups chopped apples until evenly distributed.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
7. Bake at 350°F for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
9. Cool completely before slicing to avoid crumbling.

You’ll love the moist, tender crumb and warm spice notes that shine through. Yes, it’s perfect with a dusting of powdered sugar or served warm with a scoop of dairy-free vanilla ice cream for the ultimate autumn treat.
