Ingredients

Apple Honey Cake

• 1 tablespoon palm shortening, nondairy butter (such as Earth Balance), or coconut oil, for greasing the pan
• 1 cup cassava flour (plus more to sprinkle on the greased pan)
• 1/4 cup coconut flour
• 1/4 cup green banana flour (also called plantain flour)
• 1/2 cup arrowroot starch
• 1 teaspoon aluminum-free baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
• pinch of ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon Himalayan salt
• 1/3 cup coconut oil
• 1/3 cup raw honey
• 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon ground vanilla bean (or 2 teaspoons gluten-free vanilla extract)
• 3/4 cup coconut milk (or nondairy milk of choice)
• 1 and 1/2 cups chopped apple
• 1/2 cup golden raisins (with no added sugars)

Glaze:

• juice of 1/2 lemon
• 1 tablespoon whipped raw honey
• Optional: For a thicker glaze, add 1 tablespoon Homemade Powdered Sugar (page 282), but only if your digestion is ready for a bit sweetner

Homemade Powdered Sugar:

• 2 cups organic evaporated cane juice
• 1 cup tapioca starch

Directions

• Preheat the oven 350ºF. Grease a loaf pan with the shortening and sprinkle with a little cassava flour.
• In a large bowl, combine the cassava flour, coconut flour, green banana flour, arrowroot starch, baking powder, baking soda, xanthan gum, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, and salt. Use a whisk to break up any lumps.
• In another bowl, combine the coconut oil, honey, applesauce, vinegar, and vanilla. Use a stand mixer or hand mixer to beat until combined.
• Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients a little at a time, alternating with the coconut milk and beating after each addition. Add the apple and beat on high speed for 1 minute. When fully combined, fold in the raisins.
• Pour the mixture into the loaf pan and bake for 25 to 35 minutes. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice and honey.
• Place the cake on a cooling rack and let cool. Drizzle with the glaze and serve warm or at room temperature.
• For the Homemade Powdered Sugar: Mix the sugar and starch together in a food processor, pulsing until you have a fine powder.
• Tip: The cake will keep in an airtight container for about 24 hours, or freeze individual slices for breakfast, snack, or dessert, so you have it whenever you crave it.
