Recipe Notes
This Buckwheat Applesauce Cake is pictured with frosting made of:
- Soy-Free Earth Balance (1 Cup) — semi-room temperature
- Arrowroot powder (1/2 cup)
- Maple syrup (1/2 cup)
- Vanilla extract (1/2 tsp)
However, the cake is excellent without the frosting, and also lower in the glycemic index.
