Fluffy Coconut Cake with Blackcurrants

Print Recipe

A fluffy, moist, sweet coconut infused cake with lots of gorgeous black currants for some fresh and seasonal fruitiness.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 65g / 2,3 oz oat flour
  • 60g / 2,1 oz buckwheat flour
  • 25g / 0,9 oz shredded coconut
  • 1 tbsp milled flax or chia seeds
  • 1,5 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • A hearty pinch of salt
  • 200ml / 1 cups minus 3 tbsp milk of choice
  • 40g / 1,4 oz coconut sugar or other granulated sweetener
  • 60g / 2,1 oz pitted dates
  • 40g / 1,4 oz nut or seed butter of choice
  • 2 tsp white balsamic vinegar*
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Approximately 125g / 4,4 oz black currants
  • A hearty handful coconut chips for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 150ºC / 300ºF, prepare and grease a baking pan. My pan had a diameter of 18cm / 7 inches.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the oat flour, buckwheat flour, shredded coconut, milled flax seeds, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a blender, blend the milk, sugar, dates, nut butter, vinegar, and vanilla smooth.
  4. Add the wet to the dry and mix until combined.
  5. Transfer half of the batter to the cake pan and top with half of the black currants. Cover the berries with a layer of the remaining batter and top with the remaining black currants and the coconut chips. Press them slightly pressing into the batter as well. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick runs clean.

Notes

*You can most probably use another kind of vinegar, but since I’ve not tried any other myself I can not promise the same results.
