Autoimmune Elimination day 5 - Apple overload

Applesauce banana zucchini cake

My search for a grain free/nut free /egg free/dairy free/ sweetener free Baked something lead to this recipe. The original recipe belongs to http://thesaffrongirl.com/banana-zucchini-breadcakemuffins-nut-free-grain-free-egg-free-sweetener-free/. But had to make minor modifications to make it match my criteria.

INGREDIENTS :

• 1 1/2 Homemade Applesauce.
• 1/4 cup coconut oil, not melted, but soft
• 1 teaspoon orange zest
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 cup grated zucchini
• 1/2 cup coconut flour

Process:

1. Preheat oven to 180C (350F).
2. In a large bowl, mix the Applesauce, coconut oil, orange zest, vanilla extract, and cardamom. With a hand beater, beat until smooth and fluffy.
3. Add the sea salt and baking soda and incorporate well.
4. Add the coconut flour and mix well.
5. Fold in the zucchini.
6. Pour into a 6X3 loaf pan and bake for 60 minutes.
7. Allow to cool before removing from loaf pan, and to cool in the fridge for 1/2 hour  before slicing.

Note : I have used Apple sauce instead of mashed bananas, resulting in a overly moist cake, that falls apart very easily. But I had it for breakfast next morning and it was Good.
