Vegan Apple & Almond Cake

I have a new favorite cake! This vegan apple and almond cake is so moist and fluffy, you have to try it! I actually mixed one pear in as well, it’s very flexible, either you can choose one or the other or mix them. It’s a light summer cake and I promise it will be the star on your coffee table!
