Preparation
- Set the oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, applesauce, eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir in the almond flour, oat flour, baking powder, and salt until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter, oat flour, white sugar, and cinnamon evenly.
- To create the crumble topping, combine the brown sugar, almond flour, oat flour, and cinnamon with the room temperature butter. You can mix with your hands or a fork to achieve the best texture. Set aside.
Baking
- Grease or line an 8×8 baking dish. Pour half of the cake batter into the dish, spreading it evenly.
- Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar filling over the batter and swirl it in gently.
- Repeat with the remaining batter and cinnamon sugar filling, swirling it into the top layer.
- Bake for 25 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and gently press the crumble topping into the cake, focusing on the center where it may still be underbaked. Bake for another 18 minutes.
- After baking, allow it to cool completely before cutting into squares.
Notes
This cake pairs perfectly with a cup of coffee or tea. Add a drizzle of glaze or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgence. For a richer flavor, consider adding chopped walnuts or pecans to the filling. Store in an airtight container for up to three days or freeze for up to three months.
