Coffee Cake
- 1 1/4 cups unsweetened soy milk
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup canola oil OR melted coconut or avocado oil
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Cinnamon Streusel
- 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
For drizzling on top
- 2 tablespoons vegan butter
Instructions:
Warm Things Up:
Fire up your oven to 175°C and grease your 9 x 13 inch cake pan lightly. Think of it as prepping a little stage for your masterpiece.
Mix Master:
Grab your non-dairy milk and splash in the apple cider vinegar. Give it a wee stir and then set it aside to mingle - it's like a mini pre-party for your ingredients.
Dry Mix Disco:
In a big mixing bowl, get the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar all dancing together with a good stir until they’re perfectly mixed. This is your cake’s foundation, as essential as a good base to your favourite latte.
Wet Into Dry:
Time to unite the bands! Pour your milk/vinegar mix, oil, applesauce, and a dash of vanilla into the dry ingredients. Mix it up until everything’s just combined - no overmixing, though! Pour half of this batter into your prepped pan, setting the stage for the first act of your bake-off.
Make the Cinnamon Streusel:
Streusel Magic:
In a little bowl, mix up some brown sugar and cinnamon until they’re best mates (aka your streusel topping).
Layer Up:
Pour half of your cake batter into the pan, then generously sprinkle half of that cinnamon streusel mix on top. Now, add the remaining batter and top it with the rest of your cinnamon goodness. (It's like the cake's secret surprise waiting to be unveiled.)
Butter Up:
Drizzle with melted vegan butter to get that rich, golden finish we all love.
Bake to Perfection: Pop it in the oven for about 40-45 minutes. You'll know it's done when a toothpick comes out clean. Don’t worry if the butter looks a bit wet; it’ll harden into a crispy top as it cools.
The Grand Finale: Slice it up and enjoy with a perfectly brewed Pod & Parcel coffee. (Trust us, it’s the ultimate pairing!)
Just as your cake takes the stage, golden and inviting, make sure your Pod & Parcel is brewing nearby. Whether it's the robust zest of Tarrazú or the sweet harmony of Bancroft, each sip complements the cake’s spice. This vegan marvel is here to prove that mornings can be both sustainable and indulgent. So, grab a slice, pop-in-a-pod, and let’s make this a morning to remember!
