In a bowl, mix all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

In another bowl, whisk together brown sugar, melted coconut oil, applesauce, and vanilla extract.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with plant-based milk until just combined.

Fold in chopped pecans gently into the batter.

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar before serving.
