Ingredients

  • 3 cups brown rice flour
  • 1/2 cup organic granulated sugar unrefined
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons ground flax seeds soaked in 4 tablespoons water
  • 1 and 1/2 cup coconut milk or nut/seed milk
  • 4 tablespoons melted butter or coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup applesauce unsweetened
  • 1/2 cup orange marmalade

Coffee Cake Crumble Topping:

  • 1/4 cup brown rice flour
  • 1/3 cup organic granulated sugar unrefined
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons cold butter or chilled coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350. Butter a 10 inch springform pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the brown rice flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, sea salt and whisk to combine. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the honey, ground flaxseeds and their liquid, coconut milk, melted butter and apple sauce. Stir to combine.
  4. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet, and stir just to combine. Place 2/3rds of the batter into the prepared springform pan. Then, dollop the orange marmalade over, evenly distributing as best as possible.
  5. Dollop the remaining 1/3rd of the batter on top of the orange marmalade, smoothing it over to create a flat top with the back of a spoon.
  6. Sprinkle the coffee cake topping on the top of the cake, then transfer to the oven and bake for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean.
  7. Allow to cool for 20 minutes, then release the springform and serve!

Coffee Cake Crumble Topping

  1. Combine the brown rice flour, sugar, cinnamon and butter in a small bowl, cutting the butter into the flour and sugar mixture with the back of a fork or your fingertips quickly—you’re looking for a sandy-textured topping, and we work quickly in order to keep the butter cold
