Ingredients

2 3/4 cups gluten free 1-to-1 baking flour

1/2 cup molasses

2/3 cup coconut sugar

2 tsp ground ginger

1 tsp cinnamon

3/4 cup coconut oil, softened

3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce

1 tbsp baking powder

1 cup coconut milk

1 Yogi® Original Yogi Tea® bag

1 cup powdered sugar

1/4 cup water

Optional: 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 10 or 12-cup bundt cake pan with coconut oil or olive oil.

Step 2: Heat the coconut milk to a boil using a microwave or stove top, then steep the Yogi® Original Yogi Tea® bag in the hot milk according to package directions. Set aside.

Step 3: In a large bowl, beat the softened coconut oil and coconut sugar together using a hand mixer until fully combined.

Step 4: Add the unsweetened applesauce and molasses to the mixture. Continue mixing until you get a thick, wet batter.

Step 5: Sift in the gluten free flour, baking powder, ground ginger, and cinnamon while continuing to beat the batter.

Step 6: Gradually pour the tea-infused coconut milk into the batter, mixing continuously until fully incorporated.

Step 7: Pour the batter into the prepared bundt cake pan and bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 8: To make the dairy-free glaze, beat together the powdered sugar, water, and optional vanilla extract in a medium bowl until smooth.

Step 9: Once the cake has cooled slightly, pour the glaze evenly over the top. Serve and enjoy!

Tips & Variations

For an extra kick, add a pinch of nutmeg or cloves to the batter along with the ginger and cinnamon.

Use almond milk instead of coconut milk if preferred, but steep the tea bag in warm milk to keep the flavor balanced.

Make sure the coconut oil is softened, not melted, to help achieve a fluffy batter texture.

If you don’t have gluten free 1-to-1 flour, a blend of rice flour, tapioca starch, and potato starch can be used as a substitute.

FAQs

Can I make this cake nut-free?

Yes. This recipe is naturally free of nuts unless you use almond milk as a substitute. Use any nut-free dairy alternative like oat or rice milk instead.

How do I know when the cake is done baking?

Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs, the cake is done. Avoid overbaking to keep the cake moist.
