For the cake

  1. Preheat convection oven to 345F° (173 C)
  2. Grease a loaf cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  3. Sift almond flour, ivory teff flour, gluten free flour, baking powder, baking soda + salt.
  4. In a medium bowl: with a whisk by hand mix egg, vanilla, maple syrup, sweetener of choice + olive or coconut oil and buttermilk.
  5. Add the sifted flour mix and combine. Add the zest of choice and mix.
  6. Add the add in ingredients of choice (reserve a few to put on top of the cake), mix batter lightly with a plastic spatula.
  7. Pour batter onto prepared cake pan. Bake for aprox 30 mins or until tooth pick comes out clean.
  8. Remove cake from pan.
  9. Let cool and decorate with the glaze.

For the glaze

  1. Mix all ingredients in a bowl and stir with a whisk until raspberries are crushed and pureed. Strain to remove seeds.
  2. Check the consistency to adjust and thicken or thin accordingly. To thicken add more coconut milk powder, to thin add some almond milk.

Brand recommendation for confectioner’s sweetener is Swerve Sweetener.

Chef's Notes

  • Stir Sweetener or organic cane sugar (both work great). I used cane sugar in this recipe to create a lighter color, but also tested it with Stir Sweetener and it baked beautifully.
  • Instead of olive oil you could use coconut oil or ghee melted (I loved Texas Olive Ranch Olive oil or Tin Star Foods Ghee: I used olive oil).
  • I loved the new Trader Joe’s blanched almond flour.
  • Alternative option: use spelt flour or Bobs Red Mil All Purpose flour, blue label only, for a NON-gluten-free version.
  • Recommendations for baking powder – use gluten free and aluminum free.
  • Alternative option: use 1 teaspoon Ceylon cinnamon
  • Other flavor variations: blueberries, cherries, mixed berries or frozen cranberries, chocolate chunks and/or pecans.
