Vegan Apple Cake

Because of curiosity I tried this vegan dessert recipe (also from http://www.eggless.com) just to see how a non-dairy cake would taste like...It's undeniable that this cake has that "healthy" tang, I know you can agree simply by reading the list of ingredients.
  • 2 cups wholemeal self-raising flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup soft vegetable margarine
  • 6 tablespoons dark brown sugar
  • 2 dessert apples, cored and grated
  • 1 tablespoon soya flour
  • 1 tablespoon wheat germ
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup sultanas
  • 2 tablespoons soya milk
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • water if necessary

Preheat the oven to 190C/375F/gas mark 5

Use a 20cm/8 inch sandwich tin.

Oil and line the cake tin. Cream the margarine and sugar together for 5 minutes or until light and fluffy. Stir in the apples. Mix together the flours, wheat germ, cinnamon, baking powder and sultanas. Stir this into the creamed margarine and apples and add the soya milk and lemon juice plus a little water if the batter is too thick. Pour the batter into the sandwich tin. Bake for 40 minutes to 1 hour in the preheated oven. The cake is baked when a warm knife inserted into it comes out clean. Remove the cake from the tin and allow to cool on a wire rack.
