For cake
- 7 1/2 cups

- 1 1/2 cups
potato starch
- 1/2 cup
cornstarch
- 2 cups
granulated sugar
- 3 tsp.
ground cinnamon
- 2 1/4 tsp.
baking powder
- 2 1/4 tsp.
baking soda
- 1 1/2 tsp.
ground allspice
- 1 1/2 tsp.
ground ginger
- 3/4 tsp.
ground nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp.
kosher salt
- 2 1/2 cups
oat milk or other nondairy milk
- 2 1/4 tsp.
cider vinegar
- 3 Tbsp.
unsulphured molasses
- 1 1/2 tsp.
pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup
unsweetened applesauce
For frosting
- 3 cups
apple cider
- 1 lb.
vegan butter
- 1 lb.
confectioners’ sugar, sifted
Directions
- Step 1Prepare cake: Heat oven to 350℉. Lightly coat three 8-inch cake pans with non stick cooking spray. Line bottoms with parchment; spray parchment. In a large bowl, combine almond flour, potato starch, cornstarch, granulated sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, allspice, ginger, nutmeg, and salt.
- Step 2In a second bowl, combine oat milk, vinegar, molasses, and vanilla. Fold into flour mixture, then fold in applesauce.
- Step 3Evenly divide batter among prepared pans (about 2 1/3 cups in each pan), spread evenly, and bake until golden brown and toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cakes cool completely in pans.
- Step 4Meanwhile prepare frosting: In a small saucepan, simmer apple cider until reduced to about 2 tablespoons, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool. While cider syrup is cooling, remove vegan butter from refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for 20 minutes but do not allow to get too soft (return to the refrigerator briefly if this happens).
- Step 5Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat vegan butter, confectioners’ sugar, and reduced cider until smooth and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Makes about 4 1/2 cups frosting. (If it is too soft, return to the refrigerator to firm up.)
- Step 6Place one cake layer, bottom side up, on serving plate and spread heaping 1/2 cup frosting evenly over top. Top with another cake, bottom side up; repeat. Spread remaining frosting over top and sides of cake.
