Snickerdoodle Snack Cake- No Eggs, Refined Sugar or Milk

A while back, I shared a vanilla cake recipe that required zero milk, eggs or butter. It was inspired by a chocolate version that I came across in circa 1960’s cookbook.

We LOVE both of these cakes at my house and it prompted me to try another version. This time, we are going with the classic snickerdoodle flavor of cinnamon and sugar. In additional to having no eggs, milk or butter, this one doesn’t have any refined sugar either! Yippee!

Ingredients Needed:

  • Flour + Salt + Baking Powder + Ground Cinnamon
  • Coconut Palm Sugar
  • Oil
  • Vanilla
  • Water
  • White vinegar

Coconut Palm Sugar: If you don’t have any on hand, regular brown sugar will also work. However, keep in mind, that brown sugar is considered a refined sugar. 😉

Oil: Use a neutral tasting oil. Canola, sunflower or vegetable oil will all work.

How to Make:

  • The vanilla and chocolate versions of these cakes were both made by creating wells in your baking pan and mixing it all in the pan. However, for this version, I found making the batter in a separate bowl works better. The good news if that you don’t have to pull out your big mixer for this. A medium size mixing bowl and whisk will work just fine.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk dry ingredients. Then, add in the wet ingredients and whisk it all until smooth. Don’t go mixing crazy! Mix it until it’s smooth and combined. Over mixing may give you a dense cake.
  • Spread the batter into your prepared pan. Then, top the batter with the cinnamon/sugar mixture. Lightly press it into the batter, then, bake.

This cake goes great with a nice scoop of vanilla ice cream! Regular or dairy free.
