- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 6 pitted dates (deglet noor) (or 3-4 medjool dates)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F, and grease a 13x9 glass baking dish. (If you want to use a metal dish then preheat to 375°F)
- In a medium bowl make 3 flax eggs by combining 3 Tbsp ground flax with ½ cup of water. Stir and let sit for at least 5 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl combine: 2 tsp baking soda, 3 cups flour, 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional), and 1/2 tsp salt. Stir it up and remove any lumps.
- Add all of the other cake ingredients into the large bowl with the dry ingredients: canned pie filling, 1 cup sugar, 2 tsp vinegar, ½ tsp vanilla, can of coconut milk, and the flax eggs. Stir it up well with a wooden spoon.
- Spread the batter evenly onto the greased baking dish. Bake at 350°F for 50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, you can make the caramel sauce. Combine all sauce ingredients in a food processor or blender and mix until smooth.
- After the cake is removed and cooled a bit you can spread or drizzle the caramel sauce on top of the cake. Enjoy the cake warm or cold, and perhaps with some vanilla vegan ice cream!
