How to Make Vegan Sponge Cake
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round baking pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Add ¾ cup granulated sugar and mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup unsweetened applesauce, ⅓ cup vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Add ½ cup water and mix until a smooth batter forms.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Dust with powdered sugar or add your favorite frosting once completely cool (optional).
