Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease an 8x8-inch baking pan. I also line mine with a sheet of parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the applesauce, sugar, oil, almond milk, eggs, vanilla, and vinegar and whisk until combined.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose, whole wheat, and almond flours, apple pie spice, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
Step 4
Add the dry ingredients to the bowl with the wet ingredients and stir until just combined, then fold in the walnuts. Pour into the prepared pan.
Step 5
Bake for 32 to 39 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. When the cake is completely cool, top it with cream cheese frosting, if desired.

Chef's notes
Make your own applesauce for a more delicious cake. Homemade applesauce is slightly chunky, adding texture to the cake.
Spoon and level your flour for accurate measurement to avoid a dry cake.
Freeze extras for up to three months. Thaw in the fridge or warm in the microwave.
