Recipe Introduction

Use the Brown Sugar Frosting found elsewhere in the archives (hint hint, under frostings)

List of Ingredients

2/3 cup olive oil, softened
1 1/2 cups brown sugar, packed
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups GF flour blend (less than 3/4 c protein flour)
2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 1/2 cups unsweetened applesauce
1/3 cup nut milk soured with 2 tbsp lemon juice (or vinegar)


Recipe

Grease a 9" x 13" cake pan; line the bottom with
parchment paper. Set aside.

In a large bowl, beat the oil with the brown sugar until fluffy; beat in the eggs, one at a time. Beat in the vanilla.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder,
salt, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, allspice and nutmeg.
Stir into the oil mixture alternately with the applesauce and soured milk, making 3 additions of dry ingredients and 2 of wet.

Spread in the prepared pan.

Bake in the centre of a 350 degree F oven until the cake tester inserted in the centre comes out clean, about 35 minutes.

Let cool in the pan on a rack.

Drizzile with Brown Sugar Frosting spread over the top of the warm cake just to the edge, letting the icing drizzle over slightly.
