Birthday Funfetti Cake

Ingredients:

Cake:

• 2 cups gluten-free oat flour
• 1/2 cup brown rice flour
• 1/2 cup coconut flour
• 1 1/4 cups coconut sugar
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 2/3 cup unsweetened almond milk or light coconut milk
• 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
• 1 tbsp alcohol-free vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp ground flaxseeds

Frosting:

• Cream from top of 3 (14-ounce) cans of chilled coconut cream
• 3-4 tbsp maple syrup, more to taste
• 1/3 cup clean sprinkles (if you’re not able to get clean sprinkles, you could also used sliced berries to decorate the cake)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350F/180C. Line two 9-inch springform cake pans with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, whisk together the oat flour, brown rice flour, coconut sugar, and baking powder. Set aside.

In another bowl, add the applesauce, almond milk, coconut oil, and flaxseeds. Whisk until uniform.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir until you get a uniform very thick but pourable batter. Divide the batter into two and pour into prepared baking pans.

Bake for 23-26 minutes, until lightly browned on top and toothpick comes out clean when inserted.

Cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then remove and cool completely on a wire rack.

To make the frosting, whisk the cold coconut cream with maple syrup until fluffy using an electric mixer.

To assemble the cake, place one layer of the cake on a serving plate. Spread a layer of whipped coconut cream over the top. Place the second cake layer on top and spread whipped coconut cream all over the top and sides. Place a bit of coconut whip in a piping bag and pipe swirls on top of the cake. Press sprinkles to the sides of the cake and sprinkle some on top.

Keep cake refrigerated until needed. Enjoy!
