Dairy-free honey cake

This cake is one of those simple and delicious treats you’ll want to whip up time and time again. Not only is it dairy and egg-free, it’s also low in sugar thanks to the use of honey and applesauce to sweeten the mix. Most importantly of all, it tastes amazing! The subtle spice from the cinnamon, cardamom and tea really shines through and the coconut oil helps keep everything lovely and moist. Let it cool for about 20 minutes before slicing. Enjoy!
