  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • TOPPING
  • ⅓ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • ⅔ cup oat flour

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line the bottom of a 8 inch round pan with parchment paper and grease the sides.

  3. Add all the remaining cake ingredients and mix until fully incorporated.
  4. In a separate small bowl, mix together all topping ingredients.
  5. Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan and top with the crumble mixture
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 min or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs and the top is golden brown.
  7. Cool for at least 15 minutes before removing from the pan and slicing.
