Gluten Free Pumpkin & Pepita Coffee Cake
- FOR THE CAKE:
- 1/2 cups Arrowroot
- 1/2 cups Almond Flour
- 1/2 cups Coconut Flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1/2 teaspoons Baking Soda
- 1/2 teaspoons Salt
- 2 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Pumpkin Spice
- 1/2 teaspoons Nutmeg
- 3/4 cups High Quality, Or Homemade Pumpkin Puree
- 1/4 cups Full-fat Coconut Milk
- 1/2 cups Coconut Oil
- 1/4 cups Maple Syrup
- 2 whole Large Eggs
- FOR THE STREUSEL:
- 1/4 cups Sucanat
- 2 Tablespoons Almond Flour
- 2 Tablespoons Arrowroot
- 1/2 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 6 Tablespoons Room Temperature Butter
- 1/4 teaspoons Salt
- 1/3 cups Raw Pepitas (pumpkin Seeds)
- FOR THE GLAZE:
- 1/2 cups Cashews, Soaked For At Least 4 Hours And Drained
- 2 Tablespoons Maple Syrup
- 1/8 teaspoons Sea Salt
- 1 Tablespoon Hot Water
- 2 Tablespoons Full-fat Coconut Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 2 Tablespoons Melted, Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
- Note: Before you begin, make sure you have your cashews soaking for at least 4 hours.
- 1. Preheat oven to 350u0b0F and grease a 9" round cake pan. Local Milk (the original recipe author) used a cast iron which I definitely recommend, if you have it.
- 2. For the cake, in a mixing bowl, whisk together the arrowroot, almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, pumpkin spice, and nutmeg. Set aside.
- 3. In a second mixing bowl, mix the pumpkin puree and full fat coconut milk. Set aside.
- 4. In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the coconut oil and maple syrup together. Mix on low, adding the eggs one at a time.
- 5. To this mixture, add 1/3 of the dry mixture, then 1/3 of the wet mixture, mixing until only just incorporated. Keep adding until all ingredients are in one bowl, just mixed. Please don't overmix the batter.
- 6. Pour batter into the pan and bake for 20 minutes.
- 7. Meanwhile, make the streusel. Combine sucanat, almond flour, arrowroot, cinnamon, butter (room temperature), and salt. Use your fingers to create a crumbled, sandy mixture, breaking up the butter with the rest of the ingredients by hand. Mix in the pepitas.
- 8. When the cake has baked for 20 minutes, sprinkle the streusel on top. Bake for 25-30 more minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Allow cake to cool.
- 9. While the cake cools, prepare the glaze. Put the cashews, maple syrup, sea salt, hot water, full fat coconut milk, vanilla extract, and melted and warm extra-virgin coconut oil in a high speed blender or food processor and combine until it becomes a creamy mixture. If there are any clumps, sift them out. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake.
- Enjoy with a cup of coffee!
