Prepare the streusel topping

  1. In a bowl, combine the teff flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, chopped walnuts and dairy-free butter.
  2. Using your fingers, crumble the butter with the flour until the mixture resembles coarse sand.
  3. Refrigerate it while you make the cake batter.

Make the cake batter

  1. Line an 8” square cake tin with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 350°F. Set oven rack to the middle position.
  2. In a bowl, combine the non-dairy milk with apple cider vinegar. Let sit for a few minutes until it starts to curdle.
  3. In the meantime, in a medium mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: teff flour, almond meal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, sugar. Stir well to distribute the ingredients well.
  4. Make a well in the center and add the wet ingredients: olive oil, dairy-free yogurt, vanilla, and the curdled milk.
  5. Fold using a spatula until combined.
  6. Working fast, transfer the batter to the prepared cake tin. It’s important you work fast, because once the vinegar hits the baking powder, its starts to raise the batter, and you want most of the rising to happen inside the oven.
  7. Top with the streusel mix and bake in the preheated oven at 350°F in the middle rack for 30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Transfer to a wire rack to cool in the tin, the remove cake from tin and let cool completely on the wire rack. Slice and serve.

Storage
