Ingredients
- Baking spray with flour
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 ¼ cups whole-wheat pastry flour, divided
- 1 ¼ cups packed light brown sugar, divided
- 3 tablespoons vegan butter (such as Miyoko’s Cultured Vegan Butter), plus 1/2 cup, melted and divided
- ⅛ teaspoon salt plus 1/2 teaspoon, divided
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup unsweetened plain almond milk
- 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
- Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 9-inch-square baking pan with baking spray. Stir walnuts, cinnamon, 1/4 cup flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 3 tablespoons melted vegan butter and 1/8 teaspoon salt together in a small bowl. Set aside in the refrigerator.
Step 2
Whisk the remaining 2 cups flour and 3/4 cup brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl.
Step 3
Whisk almond milk, vinegar, vanilla and the remaining 1/2 cup melted vegan butter together in a small bowl. Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture and whisk until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Step 4
Sprinkle the batter with the walnut mixture and bake until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes, covering with foil during the last 5 to 10 minutes to prevent overbrowning, if desired. Remove to a wire rack and let stand for 15 minutes before serving.
To make ahead:
Store cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
