I was looking for some cornmeal recipes for the Corn event and remembered that I had bookmarked one healthy snack cake recipe from my friend Viji's blog.

Her blog has an amazing collection of traditional and innovative recipes. I have made a couple of changes to the original recipe keeping the measurement same. Since her blog is private, I'm reproducing her recipe (along with changes made by me) here with her permission.To make it vegan friendly, I used brown rice milk instead of dairy milk, canola oil and unsweetened applesauce instead of butter in the original recipe. If you are able to find vegan chocolate chips or use carob chips this snack cake recipe will be 100% vegan. Even after all these changes the cake tasted very good.Speaking of which, brown rice milk is a new addition in our diet. Earlier I have baked with regular rice milk and almond milk, but this is the first time I have used brown rice milk.I prefer rice milk to soy milk, especially while baking. I feel that some brands of soy milk leaves an unpleasant odor in baked goods. I have tried a couple of vegan cake recipes with soy milk and felt that the texture was not good too, very sticky. So I usually go with rice milk or almond milk. Now brown rice milk is my favorite too. It tastes good by itself too. My son has it with his cereal. So if a 4-year-old likes it, then it should be definitely good, right?Recipe

  Thanks. I have started including the nutritional information for the recipes I have posted in the past 2-3 months. Will try to get it done for the old recipes too.

Thanks for sharing this wonderful delight. Can I try with yoghurt instead of apple sauce?
I usually bake cake with sweetened condensed milk, but I'm afraid whether I can use that in this recipe!
Please see my recipe on http://www.vegifood4u.com

Thanks

What is the best substitute for Canola Oil. I am in India. 🙂

And another question -
2/3 cup Unsweetened Applesauce
1 and 1/4 cups Mashed/Pureed Bananas with little water

I believe these are the EGG substitutes.
Can the Applesause be replaced by Mashed Banana?

  You could use any other flavorless oil. These days I use only coconut oil. You can replace the applesauce with mashed bananas. Check out my recipe for Homemade Applesauce.
