Vegan Apple Cake

1 cup plant milk (soy, almond, oats)

¾ cup sugar (plus 2 tbsp to sprinkle on top)

¼ cup vegetable oil (sunflower oil, canola oil, or melted vegan butter)

2 cups flour (all-purpose, wholewheat, or 50% all-purpose and 50% wholewheat (see notes below for more info))

1 tablespoon baking powder

3 teaspoons cinnamon (or 1 tablespoon vanilla extract with wet ingredients)

1 pinch salt

4 medium apples

Oil the sides of your pan and dust them with flour. Line the bottom with parchment paper.Preheat the oven to 360°F or 180°C.
To a medium bowl, add the wet ingredients: plant milk, oil, and sugar. Whisk to combine.
Sift in the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
Whisk with a hand mixer for a few seconds till you have a smooth and thick cake batter. Do not over-mix, or the cake will turn out gummy.You can also stir the batter with a whisk or a silicon spatula.
Add small apple pieces from 2 apples (about 11 ounces or 300 grams of apple chunks). Apples should be cored and seeds removed. You can keep the peel on.
Fold in with a spatula until the apple pieces are well incorporated into the batter, then pour it into the cake tin.
Cover the top of the cake with thin apple slices in a circular pattern, overlapping the slices a bit. Finally, sprinkle the apples with 2 tablespoon of sugar.
Bake the cake at 360°F or 180°C for 55 minutes to 1 hour on the center rack of the oven.Take out of the oven and let cool down for about 1 hour. Then sprinkle with some powdered sugar if you want.TIP: bake on a baking rack, not on a baking tray, because the tray will get too hot and might overcook the base of the cake.
