Ingredients:
Gluten-Free, Vegan, Serves 12
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup gluten-free flour blend
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/3 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/3 cup almond milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup pecans, chopped
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with cooking spray. Whisk together the almond flour, gluten-free flour blend, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk together the applesauce, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, almond milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Stir in the chopped pecans. Mix the coconut sugar and one tablespoon of water in a small bowl to make a paste. Spread the paste evenly over the bottom of the prepared cake pan.
Pour the cake batter over the sugar mixture and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully invert it onto a plate or cake stand. Serve the pecan upside-down cake warm or at room temperature, garnished with additional chopped pecans or fresh fruit if desired.
