A birthday request from my then 9-year-old daughter sent me on a journey to create a gluten free, dairy-free, egg-free, peanut-free, tree-nut-free (except coconut), plant-based, vegan, coffee cake. I told her we were going to eat it no matter how it turned out. Not only did it turn out, it became the recipe that would launch Sweet Elizabeth’s Organics baking mixes.

My coffee cake mix takes the challenge out and puts the simplicity in. It couldn’t be easier. Let’s get started…

Cake Ingredients and Instructions
In addition to my Coffee Cake Mix, all you need are 4 basic ingredients for the cake.

  • Full fat coconut milk

  • Apple cider vinegar

  • Vanilla extract

  • A fresh apple

Cut up the apple. Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl. Fold in the apples. Pour the batter into a greased or parchment-lined baking pan. Sprinkle sugar and cinnamon on top. Voila! Kick back and enjoy a cup of tea while you wait for the the deliciousness to come out of the oven.

Topping Ingredients

  • Ground cinnamon

  • Coconut sugar

Optional Topping Ingredients

  • Chopped nuts or seeds

  • Coconut sugar

Optional Icing Ingredients and Instructions

  • Coconut milk

  • Vanilla extract

  • Powdered sugar

Combine all ingredients in a bowl until mixed well. Vary the amount of coconut milk and powdered sugar to achieve the consistency that you like.
