Servings: 8 slices
Calories: 310kcal
Ingredients
for the apples:
- 3 tablespoons softened coconut oil
- 1/3 cup coconut sugar
- 1 large apple
for the cake:
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 eggs
- 1 1/4 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup quinoa flour
- 3/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Spray a 9" cake pan with cooking spray.
- Beat together the coconut oil and sugar. Once combined, transfer into the baking pan.
- Use your hands to spread the mixture out as evenly as possible along the bottom of the pan (it's okay if there are some "holes").
- Arrange the apple slices on top of this mixture in any shape or pattern you'd like. Set the pan aside.
- In a mixing bowl, beat together the olive oil, honey and eggs. Whisk in the dry ingredients until you have a smooth batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
- Pop the cake in the oven for 25 - 30 minutes, until its golden brown and cooked through (use the cake tester method to check). If it starts to brown too quickly on top, cover it with foil.
- Remove the cake from the oven then let it cool completely. Loosen the sides of the cake with a knife then flip it onto a plate. Slice and serve!
