Ingredients
Scale
- 3 flax eggs ( 3 tbsp ground flax seeds mixed in 2/3 cup lukewarm plant-based milk) OR 3 large eggs
- 2/3 cup semolina flour
- 2/3 cup walnut or almond flour
- 2 tbsp corn starch
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup coconut oil, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1-5.3oz container vanilla coconut dairy-free vegan yogurt
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- Topping
- 2 medium apples, sliced thin (here we used ginger gold)
- 1-2 tbsp brown sugar (to taste)
- 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F. Grease a 9.5 inch springform pan
- If using flax eggs, mix together lukewarm milk and flax seeds in a small bowl. Set aside. If using regular eggs skip this step.
- In a medium bowl, combine the semolina, walnut or almond meal, corn starch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside
- In a large bowl, combine the coconut oil and sugar. Beat at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Slowly add the yogurt, vanilla extract, and flax mixture OR the 3 large eggs, (depending on what you are using) and continue mixing for another 2-3 minutes, until well incorporated.
- Reduce the speed and slowly add the semolina mixture, mixing until just incorporated
- Pour the batter into the greased springform pan. Arrange the sliced apples on top, sprinkle the brown sugar, and bake for 50 minutes placing the pan on a baking sheet in case some of the batter leaks out of the springform pan.
- Combine the honey or maple syrup with the cinnamon in a small saucepan and whisk well. Place it on the stove over medium-low heat until warm. Pour all over the baked cake
