- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 cup arrowroot
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup full fat coconut milk
- 1/4 cup sucanat
- 2 tablespoons almond flour
- 2 tablespoons arrowroot flour
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 6 tablespoons butter (room temperature)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup raw pepitas
- 1/2 cup cashews (soaked for at least four hours in cool water, and drained)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 tablespoon hot water
- 2 tablespoons full fat coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin coconut oil (melted and warm)
Instructions
Step 1
Start by soaking the cashews (requires at least four hours). Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9” round cake pan. Local Milk used a cast iron which I definitely recommend, if you have it.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, pumpkin spice, and nutmeg. Set aside.
Step 3
In a second mixing bowl mix the pumpkin puree and full fat coconut milk. Set aside.
Step 4
In a separate bowl use an electric mixer to cream the coconut oil and maple syrup together. Mix on low, adding the eggs one at a time.
Step 5
To this mixture, add 1/3 of the dry mixture, then 1/3 of the wet mixture, mixing until only just incorporated; Keep adding until all ingredients are in one bowl, just mixed. Please don’t over mix the batter.
Step 6
Pour batter into the pan and bake for 20 minutes.
Step 7
Meanwhile, make the streusel. Combine the streusel ingredients using your fingers to create a crumbled, sandy mixture (breaking up the butter with the rest of the ingredients by hand). Mix in the pepitas.
Step 8
When the cake has baked for 20 minutes, sprinkle the streusel on top. Bake for 25-30 more minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Step 9
While the cake cools, put all the glaze ingredients in a high speed blender or food processor and combine until it produces a creamy mixture. If there are any clumps, sift them out. Drizzle the glaze over cooled cake.
Step 10
Enjoy with a cup of coffee!
