Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ginger
  • 1/8 tsp cardamom
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1 1/2 cups spiced apple cider
  • 2/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup pure organic cane sugar
  • 1/2 cup applesauce (homemade is best)
  • 3 Tbsp avocado oil (or melted coconut oil)
  • 1/2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Topping

  • 3 Tbsp melted vegan butter or coconut oil
  • 1/3 cup pure organic cane sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • dash of cardamom
  • pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, add the dry ingredients. Whisk until well combined.
  • Then add the wet ingredients. Use a spatula to stir until just combined. Careful not to overmix.
  • Let batter rest for 3 minutes. Spray bundt pan very well, making sure every crevice is coated. Pour batter into pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a skewer or knife inserted comes out clean.
  • Let it sit in the pan for 15 minutes, then invert it onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
  • Once cooled, mix the topping ingredients together in a small bowl, except for the melted butter. Brush melted butter/oil onto the bundt cake and sprinkle cinnamon sugar all over. Slice and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container on the counter for 2 days. It tastes even better and more flavorful the next day!
