Strawberry Kiwi Coffee Cake

by on January 15, 2013

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup coconut palm sugar
  • 1/4 cup unpasteurized butter
  • 1/4 cup organic unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 large free range egg
  • 1 cup raw milk
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup brown rice flour
  • 1 cup oat flour
  • 1/4 cup buckwheat flour
  • 1 tsp. xanthan gum
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 ½ tsp. cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp. sea salt
  • 2 cups strawberries, hulled and diced into small pieces
  • 2 large kiwis, peeled and diced into small pieces

Preparation:
1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the sugar, butter and applesauce. Add the egg and vanilla, mix well.
2. Gradually add the milk to this mixture.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flours, xanthan gum, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. (If you feel as though your flours are not a fine enough grain, sift before adding).
4. Gradually add the dry flour mixture into the wet mixture. DO NOT over mix. If you are using a mixer of any type only have it on the medium-low speed, if you add in the flour too quickly you risk having air bubbles in your loaf.
5. With a spatula, fold in the strawberries and kiwi. Again, DO NOT over mix or else the strawberries will break down and turn the batter pink!
6. Spray a 9×13 glass baking dish lightly with olive oil pam. Pour mixture in.
7. Bake at 350 for 40-45 minutes or until center is set (You can test this through using either a toothpick or uncooked piece of spaghetti noodle, insert it into the loaf and if it comes out clean the loaf is done).
8. Let it cool before serving.
