Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 3/4 tsp cinnamon (add an extra 1/4 tsp for a stronger cinnamon flavor)
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp cardamom
  • 1/8 tsp cloves
  • 1/4 cup + 1 1/2 tbsp cane sugar
  • 2 tbsp organic extra virgin olive oil/or other light cooking oil
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened applesauce (optional)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 cup + 1 1/2 tbsp dairy-free or regular milk

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Also grease or oil a 9x5 inch loaf pan, and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients (flour - sugar). Make sure to combine thoroughly.
  • Add in all of the remaining wet ingredients (oil - milk). Combine mixture just until all large lumps are gone.
    Some smallish lumps may remain - which is normal.
  • Add the batter to the prepared loaf pan. Bake for about 35 minutes.
    Check with a toothpick to make sure the cake is baked throughout.
  • *For best results, the cake should be stored overnight at room temperature before glazing and serving it. But you can glaze and serve it the same day if you can’t wait..
    Just make sure the cake is fully cooled first, as to prevent the icing from melting into the cake even quicker*
    Glaze: In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup powdered sugar and 2 tsp dairy-free or regular milk until very smooth (best with a stainless steel fork).
    Add an additional 1/4 tsp of milk if needed. Enjoy!
