Ingredients

• 240 ml Unsweetened almond milk
• 1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
• 250 g All-purpose flour
• 2 tsp Baking powder
• 0.5 tsp Baking soda
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 1.5 tsp Ground cinnamon
• 150 g Granulated sugar
• 100 g Brown sugar
• 120 ml Unsweetened applesauce
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 80 ml Neutral oil (e.g., canola or vegetable)
• 50 g Vegan butter (for the streusel)
• 60 g All-purpose flour (for the streusel)
• 60 g Brown sugar (for the streusel)
• 1 tsp Ground cinnamon (for the streusel)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Stir and let it sit for 5 minutes to create a vegan buttermilk.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, granulated sugar, and brown sugar.

Step 4

Add the vegan buttermilk, unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract, and neutral oil to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Step 5

In a separate small bowl, prepare the streusel topping by combining the vegan butter, flour, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Use a fork or your fingers to mix until crumbly.

Step 6

Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the cake batter.

Step 8

Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
