Ingredients

Units Scale

For the cake:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup avocado oil or melted coconut oil
  • 3/4 cup almond milk
  • 3/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened apple sauce
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blackberries, washed and dried then cut in half

For the streusel:

  • 1/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
  • 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil or coconut oil
  • 2 teaspoons water

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8×8 square baking pan with parchment paper or spray with non-stick spray.
  2. To make the streusel:
  3. In a medium bowl, combine all streusel ingredients except water. Stir to evenly distribute oil.
  4. Add water a little bit at a time and stir or crumble with your fingertips into small clumps. Set aside.
  5. To make the cake:
  6. Combine the sugar, oil, applesauce, vanilla, and almond milk in a large bowl. Whisk until smooth.
  7. Add the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until smooth.
  8. Fold in the blackberries until evenly coated.
  9. Scrape into prepared pan and level out.
  10. Crumble the streusel on top so that it is in contact with the batter.
  11. Bake for 40-45 minutes until golden brown on the edges, set in the center, and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

  12. Allow to cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
