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
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
Prepare the pan
Butter the loaf pan, then line it with parchment paper. This step prevents the cake from sticking.
Time: PT3M
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
