1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with extra light tasting olive oil or line with parchment paper.

Dry
2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, potato starch, tapioca flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.

Wet
3

In a separate bowl add the applesauce, rice milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk together well using beaters.

4

Pour a third of the wet mixture into the dry and beat well. Then add another third and beat again. Finally add the last of the wet and beat for 1-2 minutes or until well combined. The batter will be very wet and pour easily.

5

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it out evenly.

6

Bake for 27-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

7

Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes before removing it from the pan.

8

Serve the cake warm or at room temperature.

Note
9

Optional: If you want more frosting to cake ratio, grease two 9-in round cake pans and pour half the batter into each pan. Baking time will probably be cut in half, but I would check it starting at 10 min. When the cake is cooled, frost the bottom layer, then put on the top layer and frost the whole cake.

I recommend eating or freezing the first day. Or refrigerate covered overnight, it will be a bit dry.
