Ingredients & Substitutions

Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients, but all-purpose flour can be used for a lighter texture. Maple syrup provides a natural sweetness, while unsweetened applesauce keeps the cake moist without added fats.

Tips & Notes

  • Make sure all your wet ingredients are at room temperature for a better mix.
  • For added flavor, consider folding in some dairy-free chocolate chips or nuts into the batter.

Recipe Variations

  • Add lemon zest for a citrus twist.
  • Incorporate spices like cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm flavor.

Storage & Freezing

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. The cake can also be frozen for up to 3 months; just wrap it tightly in plastic wrap.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different sweetener?

Yes, you can substitute maple syrup with agave syrup or even coconut sugar, but the texture may vary.

How can I make this cake gluten-free?

You can use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend in place of the whole wheat flour.
