FOR THE CAKE:
4 Green Apples, Peeled And Grated
250 grams (2 Cups) Pitted Dates, Chopped Small
2 Tablespoons (heaping) Instant Coffee, Dissolved In 1 Cup Boiling Water
1-1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
2 cups Gluten-Free All-purpose Flour, Sieved
1 pinch Salt (I Use Pink Himalayan)
120 grams (1/2 Cup) Melted Coconut Oil
1 Egg
2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
3 Tablespoons Honey Or Maple Syrup, More To Taste

2 teaspoons Cinnamon
1/3 cups Coconut Oil, Melted
3 Tablespoons Honey Or Maple Syrup

1
For the cake:
2
Preheat oven to 180u00b0C (350u00b0F), grease and lightly flour an 8-inch (20cm) square (or round) cake tin.
3
In a bowl, place grated apple, dates, baking soda and coffee mixture. Give it a gentle stir and set aside to cool for about 15 minutes until dates are nice and soft. Stir occasionally.
4
In another bowl, sift flour and salt together.
5
Once the apple date mixture has cooled, stir coconut oil, egg, vanilla and honey into the apple date mixture.
6
With a metal spoon, stir the sifted flour and salt gradually (about 4 tablespoons at a time) into the apple date mixture until all the flour is combined. Spoon the cake mixture into the cake tin and level out. Bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean
7
For the streusel topping:
8
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine gluten-free flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum and cinnamon. Stir in coconut oil and honey. I like to do this bit with my hands, pressing the crumbs together to form a crumble, or use a spoon. Sprinkle the streusel over the baked cake, bake for another 10 minutes or until the streusel topping is gorgeous and golden brown.
9
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before slicing into squares and serving.

Notes:
11
I like to check the cake halfway through cooking time-if it's already golden enough, which it might be depending on your oven, cover the cake with a piece of silver foil and continue baking.
12
This cake is delicious with a cup of tea or coffee, or as a dessert. Serve warm with whipped cream. Yum.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.

No specific allergen information. Please check the ingredient list for possible allergens.
