Vegan Cranberry Coffee Cake

11/13/2014

I first made this coffee cake during the summer using a mixture of berries when they could be had wonderfully fresh and readily available. With Thanksgiving approaching those fresh berries aren’t to be found (at least not berries that taste like real, fresh berries). But I do have a bag of locally grown cranberries and want a coffee cake to help make this frigid Maine morning more tolerable. I’m attempting a third adaptation of a coffee cake recipe I found and it can be found below.


Ingredients: 
Streusel Topping: 
•   1/4 cup all purpose flour
•   1 cup chopped walnuts
•   1/2 cup brown sugar (organic & vegan) 
•   1 tsp. cinnamon
•   few scrapes of nutmeg
•   3 Tbsp. organic virgin coconut oil, melted
Cake: 
•   1 cup all purpose flour
•   1 cup ww pastry flour
•   1/2 cup raw sugar (organic & vegan)
•   1 tsp. baking powder (aluminum free)
•   1 tsp. baking soda
•   1/2 tsp. salt
•   1 cup unsweetened almond milk
•   1/2 cup canola oil
•   1 Tbsp. organic apple cider vinegar
•   2 cups cranberries, rinsed & tossed with sugar

Preparation: 
Streusel: 
In a medium bowl, combine flour, pecans, coconut chips, sugar, cinnamon, & nutmeg. Add coconut oil & toss with two forks until it appears crumbly (crumbs should be the size of small peas). 
Cake: 
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease an 8-inch square pan. 
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugars, baking soda, baking powder, & salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together almond milk, coconut oil, vinegar & vanilla. 
Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture & whisk until just combined (do not over mix!). Gently fold in the berries. 
Fill the prepared pan with batter & evenly sprinkle the streusel topping. Bake for 40 minutes uncovered, then cover with foil & bake another 10 minutes. Let cool, slice, & serve.

How much vanilla does this recipe call for? It is mentioned in the directions but not in the ingredients list. Thanks!

Oops. Sorry for the omission. 1 teaspoon of vanilla ought to do it. I haven't made it in a while but I think it's time to make it again. Lately I've been making this coffee cake:

East Coast Coffee Cake

Ingredients:
For the topping:
1/2 cup flour
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
3 tbsp canola oil
Handful of oats
Handful of chopped walnuts

For the cake:
3/4 cup soy milk
1 tsp. apple cider vinegar (I used distilled white because otherwise I had rice or balsamic, meh)
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup canola oil
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/4 flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt

Instructions
Preheat over to 375F. Grease a 8" square pan. Mix the milk and vinegar together and set aside to curdle for five minutes.

Make the topping:
Mix together flour, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Pour in 2 tbsp of the oil and toss with a fork, add additional tbsp until mixture is evenly moistened. Add the oats, mix in and add the chopped walnuts. Mix it all together and set aside.

Make the cake:
In a large bowl, mix milk mixture, sugar, canola oil and vanilla. Stir in flour, baking powder and salt, and mix until smooth.

Pour batter into pan. Evenly sprinkle the topping over the batter.

Bake 25 minutes before checking it for the first time.

I made this with GF flour. Excellent! I was surprised at the consistency

I couldn’t tell it was GF. Will definitely make again probably with other fruits!
