1/3 cup oat flour, lightly processed in a food processor
1/3 cup oat bran
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
2 Tbsp ground flax + 6 Tbsp warm water
1 cup white whole wheat flour
1/4 cup lucuma powder
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp sea salt
6 Tbsp coconut oil, softened but not fully melted
1/2 cup cane sugar
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
2/3 cup Silk Plain Dairy-Free Yogurt Alternative
2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp cane sugar
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly oil an 8" spring form pan with coconut oil and set aside.
NOTE: A regular cake pan will work but make sure it is well greased with coconut oil.
In a small bowl, combine the crumb topping ingredients. Lightly mix with a fork until a crumbly texture is formed, then set aside.
To prepare the cake, combine the ground flax seed and warm water in a small cup. Mix with a fork until gelatinous, then set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the whole wheat flour, lucuma powder, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt and set aside.
In the bowl of a standing mixer, combine the softened coconut oil and cane sugar and beat on high until light and fluffy. Add the flax/water mixture, vanilla, and Silk, and continue to mix until fully combined. Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl as you mix.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the mixer and beat until just combined.
NOTE: Make sure to avoid overmixing.
Combine middle swirl ingredients in a small bowl.
Spread half of the cake batter in the prepared pan using a spatula and sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the first layer of batter. Evenly spread the remaining batter over the top.
Generously crumble the topping evenly over the cake. Bake in a preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Allow cake to cool slightly, then run a butter knife around the sides of the pan to loosen before releasing the spring form side.
