How to Make Gluten Free Vegan Chocolate Apple Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour (or grease and lightly dust with gluten-free flour blend) a 9-inch round cake pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the apples until mostly smooth but still slightly chunky.
  3. Add the oil, applesauce, and vanilla extract to the mashed apples and mix well.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in the sweetener of your choice (erythritol, sugar, xylitol, brown sugar, or evaporated cane juice).
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached (do not overbake!). The cake should feel soft and springy to the touch.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Once cool, dust with powdered sugar or enjoy as is!
