In a large mixing bowl, add in all of your wet ingredients, (almond milk, vinegar, maple syrup, vanilla extract, melted coconut oil, apple sauce) and whisk together
In a separate bowl, mix together your dry ingredients. (oat flour, coconut sugar, carob powder, baking powder)

Grease your two pans with a tiny bit of coconut oil and pour your mix in.
Place them in the oven and bake for 30 minutes.
Once finished, remove the cakes from the oven, stick a toothpick in the center, and if it comes out dry, they are all done.
Let cool for an hour before cutting or icing.
