After the go go go of summer activities and parties at the lake, I have started to crave late August and early September back at our house. The evenings get cool, the days are still warm and often dry. During the day, I leave the windows open and I can still hear the crickets in the tall dry grass.

The wild turkeys roam back and fourth across our acreage foraging for tid-bits. I relish the finally quiet empty house so I can focus for a full day of work. My classes at the gym are suddenly packed with moms who are equally glad to be free. And I can use my oven again without fear of heating up the whole house.

Description

This gluten-free applesauce bundt snack cake is one of those recipes I have made over and over again. It is made with brown rice flour (that means it’s whole grain) and it is sweetened with honey.

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • Zest from 1 orange or lemon
  • 2 cups unsweetened applesauce, preferably home-made
  • ½ cup honey, orange blossom if available
  • 1/3 cup avocado oil or organic canola oil
  • 2 cups brown rice flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a large bundt pan with cooking spray.
  2. Puree eggs, zest, applesauce, honey and oil in a blender or food processor. Whisk flour, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice and salt in a large bowl. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Gradually stir the dry into the wet and stir until combined. Immediately spread out into the prepared pan and transfer to the oven. Bake until golden brown and the cake springs back when lightly touched, 50 to 55 minutes.
  3. Let cool in pan 10 minutes before turning out onto a cooling rack.
