- ¼ cup water
- 3 tablespoons sunflower oil or other neutral oil
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup + 2 tablespoons (120 grams) granulated sugar, divided
- ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons (50 grams) millet flour*
- ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons (55 grams) sweet white rice flour*
- ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons (40 grams) oat flour*
- 1 ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- 6 large egg whites, at room temperature
- ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
For the Dairy-Free Milk Mixture:
- 1 (13.5 ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
- ¾ cup (6 ounces) canned sweetened condensed coconut milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla bean paste or extract
- Pinch of salt
For Serving:
- 3 cups whipped coconut cream
- 6 cups seasonal fruit of your choice (berries, stone fruit, mango)
Instructions:
Prepare the Cake:
- Preheat the oven to 325ยบF (165ยบC). Grease the bottom of a 9x12-inch or 9x13-inch cake pan with coconut oil.
- In a large bowl, whisk together water, sunflower oil, egg yolks, vanilla extract, and ½ cup sugar until well combined.
- Sift millet flour, sweet rice flour, oat flour, baking powder, and salt into the yolk mixture through a strainer. Whisk until smooth and pancake batter-like in consistency.
- In a stand mixer, whip egg whites and cream of tartar on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar and continue whipping until glossy and firm peaks form.
- Fold one-third of whipped egg whites into the batter using a silicone spatula. Gently fold in remaining egg whites until no streaks remain.
- Pour batter into prepared pan, spreading evenly. Bake for 30-40 minutes until golden and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Let cool for 30 minutes.
Prepare the Milk Mixture:
- In a medium saucepan, combine coconut milk, sweetened condensed coconut milk, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Warm over medium heat, stirring until well combined and warm to the touch.
Assemble the Cake:
- Poke cooled cake all over with a skewer or chopstick. Slowly pour warm milk mixture over the cake, 1 cup at a time, allowing it to absorb before adding more. Tilt and swirl the pan to help distribute the liquid. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour or up to 2 days.
Serve:
- Top chilled cake with whipped coconut cream and fresh seasonal fruit. For juicier fruit, toss with a bit of sugar and lime juice before serving.
