Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup Coconut sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon powder
• 1 cup Almond milk
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup Coconut oil, melted
• 1/2 cup Brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Cinnamon powder for swirl
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour for streusel
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil for streusel, melted

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8 inch baking dish.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon powder.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix the almond milk with apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for 5 minutes to curdle, creating a vegan 'buttermilk'.

Step 4

Add the vanilla extract and melted coconut oil to the 'buttermilk' and stir to combine.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

In a small bowl, prepare the cinnamon swirl by mixing the brown sugar and cinnamon powder.

Step 7

Pour half of the cake batter into the greased baking dish. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the batter.

Step 8

Pour the remaining cake batter on top and spread evenly with a spatula.

Step 9

For the streusel topping, mix together the flour, coconut oil, and remaining cinnamon powder until crumbly. Sprinkle evenly over the top of the cake.

Step 10

Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 11

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
