Yuca Coffee Cake With Walnuts

Yuca Coffee Cake With Walnuts

Yuca flour (aka cassava flour) is the key to this light, moist, gluten-free coffee cake. A vanilla glaze adds a dash of decadence.

Made with naturally gluten-free yuca flour (aka cassava flour), this lightly sweet coffee cake can be served plain or dressed up with an easy-to-make drizzle topping. Look for yuca flour online and in health food stores.

INGREDIENTS

DRIZZLE TOPPING

• 3 tablespoons unsweetened, unflavored plant-based milk
• 2 tablespoons date paste
• 1 teaspoon almond butter
• ¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

CAKE

• 1 ripe banana
• 1 cup unsweetened, unflavored plant-based milk
• 1½ teaspoons flaxseed meal
• 1½ teaspoons almond butter
• 1½ teaspoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 cup yuca flour (cassava flour)
• ½ cup pure cane sugar
• ¼ cup rolled oats
• ¼ cup chopped walnuts
• 1 teaspoon regular or sodium-free baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon orange zest
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

INSTRUCTIONS

1. To make optional Drizzle Topping: In a blender combine all Drizzle Topping ingredients. Blend until smooth. If desired, transfer to a squeeze bottle or small resealable plastic bag. Chill until ready to use. If using the resealable bag, snip off a corner to make a small hole for drizzling.
2. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper. In a blender combine banana, 1 cup of the plant-based milk, the flaxseed meal, 1½ tsp. of the almond butter, and the apple cider vinegar. Blend until smooth.
3. In a bowl stir together the next seven ingredients (through cinnamon). Add milk mixture to flour mixture; mix well. Stir in orange zest and vanilla. Pour batter into prepared pan, spreading evenly.
4. Bake 40 to 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack 30 minutes. Cover pan and refrigerate at least 2 hours. If desired, just before serving, add Drizzle Topping.
