Gluten-Free Apple Cake (Vegan)

The classic grandmother’s apple cake transforms into a gluten-free, lactose-free, and egg-free version. In short, a vegan buckwheat apple cake.
The addition of almond flour gives a unique taste to this special little apple cake.
The execution is really simple like all vegan cakes.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups buckwheat flour
  • 3/4 cup almond flour

  • 1/3 cup peanut oil
  • 1 cup soy yogurt
  • 1 1/4 lemon juice

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 apple
  • a few raspberries

Tools

  • Hand whisk

Preparation

  • First, grate the apple and set it aside with a few drops of lemon juice.

    In a bowl, mix all the liquid ingredients, namely the oil, yogurt with the sugar to dissolve it, using a hand whisk.

    Then add the flours (buckwheat and almond), the grated apple, cream of tartar, baking soda, and lemon juice to the mixture.

    Mix well and pour the mixture into a greased and floured baking pan.

    Slice an apple and decorate as desired.

    I also added raspberries to create a heart-shaped cake.

This cake keeps well for a few days at room temperature.
