- 1 cup garbanzo-fava bean flour
- 1 1/4 cups evaporated cane juice, plus more for sprinkling
- 1/2 cup potato starch
- 1/4 cup arrowroot
- 2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda

- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup coconut oil, plus more for greasing and brushing
- 1/3 cup applesauce
- 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cup hot water
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Lightly grease a 7 by 4 by 3-inch loaf pan with oil.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 cup of the evaporated cane juice, the potato starch, arrowroot, baking powder, baking soda, xanthan gum, salt, and 1 tablespoon of the cinnamon.
- Add the oil, applesauce, vanilla, and 1 cup of hot water to the dry ingredients.
- Stir until the batter is smooth.
- Transfer 1/4 cup of the batter to a small bowl, and add the remaining 1/4 cup of the evaporated cane juice, 1 tablespoon of cinnamon, and the remaining hot water.
- Stir until the mixture is creamy.
- Pour contents of the medium bowl into the prepared loaf pan.
- Carefully drizzle the batter from the small bowl down the center of the loaf.
- To create the swirl, take a teaspoon and, starting from 1 end of the loaf pan, move down the length of the pan as you swirl the spoon up and down through the batter.
- Sprinkle the top with evaporated cane juice.
- Put the pan in the oven on the center rack and bake for 25 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and brush the top with a generous amount of oil.
- Return it to the oven and bake for another 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the crust is crunchy.
- Let the teacake cool in the pan for 20 minutes, then gently run a knife around the edge of the cake.
- Cover the top of the pan with a cutting board, and invert the cake onto the board.
- Carefully lift the pan away and re-invert the Teacake onto another cutting board.
- Either cut and serve warm, or wait until it is completely cool before storing.
- Cover the uncut teacake with plastic wrap and store at room temperature for up to 3 days.
