Equipment

pie dish or 8" cake pan/baking pan
medium size mixing bowl
handheld electric beaters or other mixer

Ingredients

1/2 cup cassava flour : use only Otto's or Bob's brands for success; the other brands are too starchy - Use the ingredient link for 15% off Otto's.
½ cup coconut sugar or use maple sugar or cane sugar if you want the cake to turn out paler in color
1/4 cup + 3 Tablespoons tiger nut flour
⅓ cup avocado oil or olive oil
⅓ cup coconut milk room temperature or warm (not chilled), or preferred milk
¼ cup collagen <-- see link and DISCOUNT code (Use code BEAUTIFUL10 at check out.)
3 Tablespoons coconut flour
3 Tablespoons filtered water
1 Tablespoon gelatin <-- see link and DISCOUNT code (Use code BEAUTIFUL10 at check out.)
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon baking soda sifted
¼ teaspoon sea salt
1 cup apples , peeled and diced to measure

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350℉. Grease baking dish, and set aside. (I use coconut oil.)
In a medium size mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients: cassava flour, granulated sweetener, tiger nut flour, collagen, coconut flour, gelatin, cinnamon, baking soda and sea salt.
Add liquid ingredients: oil, milk, water, and apple cider vinegar, and stir to mix. I use an electric handheld mixer on medium speed. When the mixture is almost completely mixed, add the diced apples, and mix briefly to incorporate.
Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl with a spatula, and scrape/scoop batter into prepared baking dish. (Batter will be thick.) Use lightly wetted finger tips or wetted offset spatula to smooth top surface before baking.
Bake 25 minutes, until browned all over and slightly puffed around all the apple pieces.
Fully cool on rack, then slice and serve.
