Apple Walnut Cake (7" Springform Pan)

Submitted by Chef Joey Z.

"I recently bought myself a 7" spring form pan and wanted to make a carrot cake in it. I haven't tried this yet, but will soon. It looks really good."

 

• Ready In: 1hr 10mins
• Ingredients: 12
• Serves: 8

ingredients

• 3⁄4 cup light oil
• 1 cup unbleached cane sugar
• 1⁄2 cup soft silken tofu (or other egg replacer for 2 eggs)
• 1 1⁄2 tablespoons vanilla
• 3⁄4 cup spelt flour
• 3⁄4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 dash allspice
• 1⁄2 cup walnuts (chopped) or 1/2 cup pecans (chopped)
• 1 1⁄2 cups apples (diced)

directions

1. Chop the nuts and dice the apples.
2. Preheat the oven to 350'F.
3. In a large bowl combine the oil, sugar, tofu and vanilla.
4. In a separate bowl sift the flour, baking soda and salt.
5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir by hand, about 200 strokes until thoroughly mixed.
6. I would probably use my mixer for this.
7. Fold in the nuts and apples. The batter should be stiff.
8. Pour into an greased 7" spring form or bundt pan, or a loaf pan. Cook for 45 minutes or until wooden skewer stuck in the middle comes out clean.
9. Cool for 5 minutes in the spring form pan, then remove the sides and continue to cool on a wire rack. Leave the metal bottom piece on until totally cooled.
10. This would be delicious with a Vanilla Icing.
11. Bon Appetit!
