Ingredients

  • 120 g Whole wheat flour (Sift if possible)
  • 50 g Coconut flour (Absorbs liquids quickly)
  • 50 g Almond powder (Adds moistness and nutty flavor)
  • 50 g Grated coconut (For texture and decoration)
  • 80 g Coconut sugar (Light sweetness)
  • ½ c. à café Baking soda (Helps the cake rise)
  • ¼ c. à café Salt (Enhances flavors)
  • 3 gros Eggs (At room temperature)
  • 120 g Unsweetened apple sauce (Adds moisture)
  • 30 ml Slightly warmed honey (Make more liquid before adding)
  • 120 ml Coconut plant‑based milk (Liquid for the batter)
  • 1 gousse Vanilla bean (Scrape the seeds)
  • 15 g Butter (for greasing the pan) (Optional, can be replaced with coconut oil)
  • 1 feuille Parchment paper (Line the pan)
  • 10 g Powdered sugar (optional) (For decorating after baking)

Instructions

  1. Prepare dry ingredients

    In a large bowl, pour the whole wheat flour, coconut flour, almond powder, grated coconut, coconut sugar, baking soda and salt. Whisk vigorously to combine the powders well.

    Time: PT5M

  2. Create a well and add liquids

    Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Crack the eggs into it, add the apple sauce, slightly warmed honey, coconut plant‑based milk and the vanilla bean seeds.

    Time: PT5M

  3. Mix the batter

    Using the whisk, mix from the center outward until you obtain a homogeneous batter, without lumps. The batter should be thick but supple.

    Time: PT2M

  4. Prepare the pan

    Butter the loaf pan, then line it with parchment paper. This step prevents the cake from sticking.

    Time: PT3M

  5. Pour the batter and decorate

    Transfer the batter into the pan, smooth the surface with the spatula and sprinkle extra grated coconut on top.

    Time: PT2M

  6. Preheat the oven

    Preheat the oven to 170°C on convection mode.

    Time: PT10M

    Temperature: 170°C

  7. Bake the cake

    Place the pan in the oven and bake for about 50 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a knife blade into the center: it should come out slightly moist but clean.

    Time: PT50M

    Temperature: 170°C

  8. Cool in the pan

    Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for 15 minutes in the pan before unmolding.

    Time: PT15M

  9. Unmold and decorate

    Carefully unmold onto a serving plate. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.

    Time: PT5M
