Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (for blueberry topping)
  • 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar or brown sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/2 cup plant-based milk (almond, soy, or oat)
  • 1/3 cup neutral oil (e.g., sunflower or canola)
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. Spread the blueberries evenly over the bottom of the prepared pan and drizzle with the maple syrup. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, mix whole wheat flour, almond flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together applesauce, plant-based milk, oil, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Carefully pour the batter over the blueberries and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate and gently remove the parchment paper.
  9. Allow to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • You can use frozen blueberries directly—no need to thaw.
  • Substitute almond flour with oat flour for a nut-free version.
  • The cake can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to 5 days.
