For the Cake



Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 335°F (170°C). The slightly lower temperature prevents the streusel and cake top from over-browning before the inside is fully baked.
  • Grease an 8x8-inch square pan with butter, then line the flat bottom with an 8x8 piece of wax or parchment paper.
  • In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, white rice flour, shredded coconut, coconut sugar, maple syrup, cinnamon extract, nutmeg, and sea salt. Use a fork to mash the ingredients together until the mixture has a crumbly consistency. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the oat flour, rice flour, cornstarch, monk fruit sweetener, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt until evenly combined.
  • Crack the eggs into a large bowl and whisk to combine. Add the carton coconut milk, avocado oil, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract. Whisk thoroughly to combine.
  • Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture. Using a spatula, fold the ingredients together until just combined. Use a whisk if needed, but be careful not to over-mix the batter.
  • Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle 1/3 of the streusel evenly over the batter. Pour the remaining cake batter on top, then cover the top layer with the remaining 2/3 of streusel.
  • Bake at 335°F for 25–30 minutes. Test the center with a toothpick — it should come out clean (or with a few moist crumbs) when the cake is done.
  • Cool the cake on a wire rack for 20–30 minutes before slicing. Serve and enjoy!
