How to Prepare Spiced Apple Coffee Cake [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and grease a 8×8 in. baking pan or line with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. Mix all of the ingredients for the Walnut Crumble together in a medium bowl and set aside. Don’t overmix.
  3. In a small bowl, add wet ingredients and whisk until well combined.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk dry ingredients until well combined.
  5. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in wet ingredients. Using a stand mixer or by using a fork, combine until well-incorporated. Stir in chopped apples.
  6. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan. Top with walnut crumble and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 45-55 minutes. Baking times vary, so keep an eye on it. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. In a medium bowl, mix in the icing sugar and plant-based milk and mix until you have a uniform mixture. Set aside.
  9. Remove the cake from the oven and set on a wire rack. Allow to slightly cool for at least 15 minutes before drizzling icing sugar on top.
