How to Make Apple Bran Cake
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch square baking pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour, ½ cup bran cereal, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Add ½ cup currants to the dry ingredients and toss gently to coat.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup unsweetened applesauce, ½ cup milk (dairy or non-dairy), 2 large eggs, ¼ cup honey or maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Add 1 cup diced apple to the wet ingredients.
- Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 25 minutes before running a knife around the edges and inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
