"When I was doing the baking for the Autism gala back in October, I also wanted to give something to the coordinator of the event who has asked me each year to donate! I adapted this apple and coconut cake from glutenfreegoddess.blogspot.com/2010/09/coconut-flour-apple-cake.html to use up the GFCF starches and flours I had and the outcome was decadent!"

directions

Preheat the oven to 350 F and line the bottom of a 10” spring form pan.
In a small bowl, whisk together the flaxseed and hot water. Set aside.
Whisk together flours, starch, guar gum, baking powder, baking soda, salt and spice. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat together flax mixture, brown sugar, oil, coconut milk and vanilla until the batter is smooth.
Fold in the chopped apples and coconut.
Spread in the prepared pan and lightly press sliced apple pieces in a decorative pattern on top.
Sprinkle the top of the cake with raw sugar.

<p>Montessori teacher, nutritionist and pastry chef: baking is my passion, but teaching the value of good food to whole families is close to my heart too! I have a passion for re-instilling the love of good-quality, home-made and mostly healthy food into the hearts and kitchens of children and their families today. I believe that any ?homemade? food, even when labelled as naughty, is a more wholesome treat than pre-packaged, cookie-cutter junk.</p> 9408826"
