Yesterday I baked an apple cake modifying the recipe by Loving It Vegan (https://lovingitvegan.com/vegan-apple-cake/). The reason of the adjust is the amount of sugar in the original recipe. I often find the American/European baking recipes contain way too much sugar!

The cake was tasty with strong flavour of brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. It goes really well with whipped cream or ice cream.

It might be an good idea to make baking a Sunday thing for me to do. It provides me and Islay with snacks for the week! I shall use the cranberry sauce in the next baking.. maybe a bar?

**Adjusted recipe for the apple cake**

- 2 and 1/2 cups (312g) All Purpose Flour
- 180g Brown Sugar (originally, 300g)
- 1 and 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp Nutmeg
- 1 cup (240ml) Vegan Buttermilk (fresh lemon juice mixed with soy milk)
- 1/3 cup (80ml) Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 Tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1 and 1/2 cups (188g) Chopped Apple (Peeled)

**For the Cinnamon Sugar Topping**

- 1/2 cup (100g) White Sugar
- 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
- 1 Tbsp Vegan Butter (Softened)

**Tools**

I used two pound cake tins.
