I recently made this for a picnic and it is absolutely delicious! Use it while peaches are still in season! This recipe comes from www.glutenfreegoddess.com.
Ingredients:
1 cup brown rice flour or sorghum flour
1 cup organic light brown sugar
3/4 cup almond meal
1/2 cup tapioca or potato starch (not potato flour!)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
2 large organic free-range eggs, beaten
1/4 cup organic coconut oil
2 teaspoons bourbon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
5-6 tablespoons non-dairy milk (I used coconut milk)
1 1/2 cups sliced fresh peaches (about 12 oz.)
For the streusel topping:
1/3 cup organic light brown sugar
3 tablespoons brown rice flour
3 tablespoons organic coconut oil
2 tablespoons chopped pecans (may omit)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line the bottom of a deep 9-inch cake pan with a piece of parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk to combine the dry ingredients: brown rice flour, light brown sugar, almond meal, tapioca starch, baking powder, xanthan gum, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Add in the beaten eggs, coconut oil, vanilla extract, almond extract, and 2 tablespoons soy milk. Beat to combine.
The batter at this point will be stiff and sticky. Add more milk a tablespoon at a time, beating after each addition, until the cake batter becomes loose and smooth. Humidity affects flours, so you may need more or less tablespoons liquid, depending upon your locale.
Scoop two thirds of the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth it out to the edges. Use wet hands if you need to.
Press half the peach slices into the batter.
Top with the remaining cake batter and smooth evenly- this layer will be thin.
Press the remaining peach slices into the top of the cake.
Make the streusel topping, combining the brown sugar, brown rice flour, coconut oil, chopped pecans (if using), and cinnamon. Mix until sandy.
Spread the streusel topping on the cake.
Bake in the center of a preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, until the cake is set and a wooden pick inserted into the center emerges clean.
Keep an eye on the cake as it bakes. If the topping begins to brown too much (around the 25 to 30 minute mark) place a piece of foil loosely over the top of the cake to prevent it from browning too much. (I have a small wall oven that is very efficient, and my baked goods brown quickly.)
Cool the coffee cake on a wire rack.
Beyond fabulous slightly warm.
Slice, wrap in foil, and freeze uneaten cake slices in a freezer bag.
Cook time: 45 minutes Yield: 10 slices
