Gluten Free Desserts From Gluten Free Cafe
When I purchase apples, I immediately begin daydreaming about my favourite fall treats while picturing crisp, clear nights on Cape Cod and Miles Davis' eerie rendition of Autumn Leaves. Yours Truly is grabbing my favourite Patriots t-shirt and faded summer shorts faster than Gordon Ramsay can imitate sushi while baking barefoot.
Check
out what I did for you.
So go
ahead, little cake.
Enjoy
this unique recipe for apple cake.
Give
each each one or two slices.
Coconut
Apple Cake Recipe
Coconut
flour gives this elegant apple cake a moist and tender crumb with a subtle
coconut flavor. For those of you not particularly fond of coconut flour, you
could substitute almond or hazelnut flour.
Line
the bottom of a 10-inch Springform cake pan (you'll need a deep pan for this
cake) with parchment paper.
Preheat
the oven to 350ºF.
Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together:
1 cup
sorghum flour (aka jowar flour)
1/2
cup organic coconut flour
1/2
cup tapioca starch
1 scant
teaspoon xanthan gum
1 1/2
teaspoons baking powder
1/2
teaspoon baking soda
1/2
teaspoon sea salt
1/4
teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2
teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 1/3
cup organic light brown sugar
Beat
in: 1/2 cup organic coconut oil, melted,
or vegetable oil 1 cup light coconut milk 2 beaten organic free-range eggs or
use Ener-G Egg Replacer mixed 2 teaspoons bourbon vanilla extract
Instructions:
Until
the batter is silky and creamy, beat the ingredients together. Add a bit more
coconut milk to thin the batter if it is too stiff. (This gluten-free cake
batter shouldn't be too thin; it should be a little thinner than gluten-free
muffin batter.)
While
you prepare the apples, let the batter rest.
You'll
require
4
medium organic apples, such as Macintosh and Golden Delicious.
The
apple is peeled and cored. Slice into thin yet even slices.
The
mixture for the cake should now contain around three quarters of the sliced
apples.
Scoop
the cake batter into the prepared Springform pan using a silicone spatula. As
much as you can, smooth and even out the batter.
On top
of the cake batter, press the remaining apple slices in a circular pattern. For
a crunchy, sugary top crust, sprinkle organic cane sugar or turbinado sugar
crystals over the cake batter and apple slices.
For a
crunchy, sugary top crust, sprinkle organic cane sugar or turbinado sugar
crystals over the cake batter and apple slices.
Until
brown and firm, bake in the centre of a preheated oven. The cake should bake in
between 55 and 60 minutes, or about an hour. Insert a small, thin knife or a
wooden pick into the centre to check for doneness; it should come out clean.
The
cake has to cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack. Remove the cake's sides from
the pan using a very tiny spatula, then release the Springform pan's clasp. Let
the cake continue to cool.
Serve
at room temperature or slightly warm after slicing with a sharp cake knife.
For
the best texture and flavour, wrap any leftovers in foil, place in a bag, and
freeze.
