Antioxidants, for the win.

Move over (for now), pumpkin spice treats, because it’s time for href=””>apple spice baked goods to have their time in the spotlight. As fans of href=””>cinnamon-sugar baked apple donuts and href=””>peanut butter and caramel baked apples, we now have a similar recipe to href=”https://6d839cfjv1vc7ael9op6ucpccw.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=puravive”> try: vegan apple spice cake with caramel cream cheese frosting. Yup, baking just got that delicious.

Before sprinting to the kitchen, we want to give a shout-out and huge thank you to Britt Berlin, the vegan baker and cookbook author behind href=”” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>this recipe and href=”” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>@the_bananadiaries on Instagram.

Why this vegan apple spice cake recipe is worth making immediately

If the above picture of the cake wasn’t enough, we’ve got plenty of other reasons. For starters, on href=”” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>the recipe page, Berlin describes this cake as not only “fluffy,” “moist,” and “soft,” but also “the definition of easy.” Aka, it checks all the boxes! She points out how you don’t have to peel the apples like you would with an apple crisp; rather, you can just throw them in a food processor or high-speed blender so the cake is filled with small pieces of apple crunch. Also, you only need one bowl to make this spice cake, which makes cleanup so much easier.

But back to the cake itself. While apples and spices are often associated with colder months, this treat can be enjoyed any time of the year (obv). Whether you just love these flavors or want the href=””>hygge vibes of the fall and winter season all year-round, this cake has you covered. And while we’re certainly not going to argue that’s it’s great in the nutrient department, we love giving our vegan friends an excuse to eat cake (with faux-cream cheese frosting) for breakfast, too.

Further, this treat pairs well with a cup of coffee or another warm drink, whether that’s href=””>sparkling coffee, a href=””>favorite at Starbucks, or a href=””>ginger-infused beverage. You can even href=””>add spices to your regular coffee for extra goodness!
