Ready in: 45 mins
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients: 13

A crumb cake with no eggs, butter or dairy that doesn't announce it: the buttermilk here is vegan (cane sugar, canola and vinegar-soured plant milk do the tenderizing), and the top carries a proper cinnamon-coconut sugar crumb. Forty-five minutes, six servings, and the piece of evidence to hand anyone who thinks vegan baking means compromise.

Baking Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 365°F (185°C). Brush a baking pan with oil and line it with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cane sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. In a separate bowl, whisk together canola oil, vegan buttermilk, and vanilla extract.
3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
4. For the crumb topping, combine flour, coconut sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add canola oil and toss until the mixture appears crumbly.
5. Spread the cake batter in the prepared pan and sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the batter.
6. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely before serving.
