Spelt Honey Cake
A simple and wholesome spelt honey cake sweetened with honey and made with nutritious spelt flour. Top this tender cake with flaked almonds for a lovely finishing touch.
Ingredients
- ½ cup coconut oil
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup spelt flour
- 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ½ cup honey
- ½ cup tea strong and cooled
- ½ cup sliced almonds optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉ and grease a 9×9-inch square pan with coconut oil.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the coconut oil and maple syrup until well combined. Whisk in the applesauce and apple cider vinegar.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the spelt and whole wheat pastry flours, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the applesauce mixture alternately in three parts with the honey and the tea. Stir batter very well to combine.
- Pour into the prepared pan, sprinkle with sliced almonds if using, and place in the oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and let cake cool in pan about 20 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely (or just leave in pan and cut and serve directly).
