Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
  1. Preheat oven to 350°
  2. Spray a 13″ x 9″ cake pan with avocado oil.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine cassava flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, salt, nutmeg and cloves and whisk together to combine, set aside.
  4. Add ½ cup grass fed butter to a large bowl along with ½ cup maple sugar and with an electric mixer, cream together until light and fluffy. Add egg and beat again until well combined, set aside.
  5. In a separate measuring cup, combine molasses and 1 cup hot water, stir to combine until molasses is incorporated into the water.
  6. Add ⅓ of the flour mixture to grass fed butter/maple sugar/egg mixture, beating until well combined then add ⅓ of the molasses/water mixture and beat again. Repeat with flour mixture and water/molasses (a ⅓ at a time) beating after each addition until all ingredients are well combined.
  7. Pour cake batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth out evenly.
  8. Sprinkle ⅔ c maple sugar evenly over the top of the cake. Add ¼ c remaining butter to 2 cups hot water, stir until butter is melted. Pour over the top of the maple sugar - DO NOT STIR!
  9. Bake for 45-55 minutes. Cake top will crack as it bakes. To check for doneness, insert toothpick into the top part of the cake only, it should come out clean when done. Don’t insert all the way to the bottom into the pudding portion or your toothpick will come out gooey every time!
  10. Let the cake sit for about 10-15 minutes then serve warm with a dollop of your favorite ice cream, whipped cream or a sprinkle of powdered sugar if desired.

Notes

A few of the ingredients like, grass fed butter (or ghee), maple sugar and hot water are listed in two different places, but I feel like the recipe reads better and is easier to follow that way. In any case, read through the recipe a couple times just to familiarize yourself with the process and the ingredients. It’s actually a super simple recipe. Have all your ingredients organized, ready to go and your oven warming while you whip it up. Then bake and enjoy!
