How to Make A Date With Rum Cake Vegan
- Finely chop 1 cup (about 15-20) Medjool dates. Place in a bowl and add ¼ cup dark rum, ensuring the dates are fully saturated. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together ½ cup unsweetened applesauce and 1 teaspoon baking powder. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon salt.
- Add the applesauce mixture, soaked dates with rum, the zest of 1 orange, ½ cup vegetable oil, and 1 cup unsweetened soy milk to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter into a greased 8x8 inch or 9x9 inch square baking pan. Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan before slicing and serving. Enjoy! Dust with powdered sugar for extra flair.
