 Cheese Cake - Cake:

 

1 1/2 cups organic whole wheat pastry flour

1 1/2 tsp baking soda

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp nutmeg

1/2 tsp sea salt

1 cup maple sugar

1 cup full-fat coconut milk (the thick kind, I prefer the Thai Kitchen brand) at room temperature

1 cup apple sauce

2 tsp pure vanilla extract

2 Tbsp cider vinegar

 

 

 

 

Instructions:

Adjust the oven rack to the centre position and preheat to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Press parchment paper onto a 9 × 9-inch square pan.

In a blender, combine all of the ingredients for the "cream cheese" and process until smooth.  Put aside.

In a bowl, combine all the ingredients for the streusel; using your hands, mix everything until completely incorporated and the mixture forms clumps. Put aside.

In a large basin, thoroughly mix together flour, baking soda, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and sea salt to produce cake batter.

In a separate basin, whisk together the coconut milk, apple sauce, and vanilla; whisk into the flour mixture until thoroughly combined.

Stir the batter with the cider vinegar.

Pour the cake mix into the ready pan.

Over that, pour the cream cheese mixture, being careful to distribute it evenly and not just in one area—I suggest pouring it in lines throughout the batter.

Evenly scatter the streusel on top of the cream cheese.

 

Put in the oven and bake for about 50 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the centre comes out clean with only a few moist crumbs attached.

Take it out of the oven and allow it to cool fully.

 

 

You can substitute either coconut sugar or regular granulated sugar for the maple sugar in this recipe.
