Ingredients
  • FOR THE CAKE:
  • 3 apples peeled and chopped small
  • 1 cup dates chopped small
  • 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • 1 1/4 cup boiling water
  • 1 egg lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • Pinch of salt
  • FOR THE TOPPING:
  • 1 nectarine sliced
  • 1 plum sliced
  • 1 - 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Generously grease a round 20cm (8 inch) cake tin with coconut oil.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the apples, dates, bicarb of soda and boiling water, set aside to cool.
  3. In a small bowl, stir the coconut oil and the vanilla essence into the beaten egg.
  4. In another large bowl, stir the almond flour, coconut flour, nutmeg and salt together and then add the apple mixture and the oil and egg mixture alternately to the flour mixture until combined.
  5. Place the slices of nectarine and plum in a circular design on the base of the cake tin. Drizzle the honey evenly over the fruit, then sprinkle on the ground cinnamon.
  6. Gently spoon the cake mixture onto the fruit, and smooth out carefully until level. Bake for 60 minutes or until a tester comes out clean. After 15 minutes of baking, gently rest a piece of silver foil over the cake for the rest of the cooking time to stop it from browning too much.
  7. Allow the cake to cool completely before turning it out onto a serving plate. Slice with a sharp knife and enjoy.
Recipe Notes

It is very important that you allow the cake to cool COMPLETELY before turning it out, or the cake will break apart and the topping will be left in the cake tin.
