Ingredients

Cake

Glaze

  • ½ cup vegan butter or margarine or regular butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup light corn syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon coarse sea salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Coat a bundt pan well with non-stick baking spray, or butter and flour it.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the oil, applesauce, sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
  • Add the flour mixture and coconut milk alternately to the wet mixture, starting and ending with the flour. Scrape the bowl to fully incorporate the batter, then pour into the prepared pan.
  • Bake for ½ hour at 350°F, then lower the oven to 325°F and bake another 15 to 20 minutes, until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Cool the cake in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  • For the glaze, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the brown sugar and salt, and cook, stirring frequently, about 2 minutes. Add the corn syrup and vanilla, stirring constantly for 2 more minutes, then remove from heat.
  • Pour the hot glaze over the cooled cake.

Notes

  • Extra glaze: this makes a little more caramel than you'll use on the cake; save the extra to drizzle over other desserts.
  • No glaze option: a dusting of powdered sugar is a lighter alternative.
  • Storage: covered at room temperature up to 3 days, or freeze the unglazed cake up to 3 months.
  • Nutrition: no nutrition information was provided for this recipe; values will vary depending on the exact ingredients used.
