Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 recipe egg replacer (I prefer Bob’s Red Mill), dissolved
  • 1 ½ cups sprouted whole wheat or whole wheat pastry flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch sea salt
  • Generous pinch cinnamon
  • 1 Gala apple, halved, cored; dice 1 half in small dice and slice the other half to decorate the top of the cake (sprinkle the apple with lemon juice and toss to coat to prevent browning)
