Apple Loaf Cake
This is a delicious cake with an apple loaf! At any time, cut a slice and top with some butter for a snack, or top for the best dessert with a scoop of vanilla ice cream! I would do both.

INGREDIENTS
300g of plain gluten-free flour
100g of ground almonds
120ml of almond milk

2 tsp of cinnamon
1 tsp of vanilla extract
1 tsp of baking powder
1 tsp of bicarbonate of sofa
Pinch of salt
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat the oven to 160 C
2. To enable it to thicken, mix the flaxseed with the water and place it to one side. In a mixing bowl, mix the flour ground almonds, spices, baking powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt. In a blender, add 6 tablespoons of apple sauce, cashew butter, maple syrup, coconut oil, and almond milk and combine into a smooth blend.
3. Pour this liquid mixture with the dry ingredients into the mixing bowl, along with the flaxseed mixture that is now thickened. Mix thoroughly. Slowly add the sugar, tablespoon by tablespoon, till you hit the consistency of a cake mixture.
4. With greaseproof paper, line a loaf tin and pour the cake mixture into it. Over the top of the cake batter, spread the remaining apple puree. Place it in the oven to bake for around 30 min or so. To prevent the top burning, you may need to cover the cake with tin foil for almost 20 min.
5. Before removing it from the cake pan, slicing, and digging in, enable the cake to set and cool for a minimum of 20 min.
