Here is a delicious recipe for warm Swedish Apple Cake! We love baking this cake for an afternoon Fika (coffee break) shared with friends.

Originally from The Swedish Kitchen cookbook by Liselotte Forslin, Rikard Lagerberg, and Susanne Walstrom, we have converted the measurements for their Mum’s Apple Cake from metric to cups. This translated Swedish Apple Cake is easy to make and perfect any time of year!

You can follow along with the apple cake recipe and add dairy and egg ingredients, but we have also made this dairy free and even vegan! All versions are delicious!

DAIRY FREE SWEDISH APPLE CAKE RECIPE

For a dairy free version of this apple cake, you can substitute the milk with any plant based milk. We have used oat milk and almond milk and it tastes the same.

VEGAN SWEDISH APPLE CAKE RECIPE

For a vegan version of this apple cake, you can substitute the eggs with two flax eggs. We used Bob’s Red Mill Flaxseed Meal. Just mix 2 tablespoons of flaxseed meal with 6 tablespoons of water. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes. Then follow directions as shown in the recipe below.

The vegan Swedish Apple Cake is not quite as fluffy and looks less golden brown, but don’t let that fool you, it is just as delicious!
