A few tips:
- I used a 16 cm spring form for this cake. You can use a larger one, but it will make the cake slightly shorter.
- I used a home cooked plum jam for this cake, you can however go ahead and use a store bought one if preferred.
- I used reduced fat cream cheese because I prefer a lighter cake. Regular cream cheese can be used as well.
- Be gentle when pouring the cream cheese and plum jam layers over the cake to make sure it doesn’t sink too much. Gently spread it out into an even layer using a spatula.
- Let the cake cool completely before cutting into it. Preferably in the fridge overnight.
- This cake is good to store in the fridge for up to five days.

Instructions
For the streusel

For the cake layer
- Preheat the oven to 175 degrees Celsius.
- Line and grease a 16-18 cm spring form.
- Whisk together eggs and monk fruit sweeteners until the mixture turns pale and fluffy.
- Add fiber syrup, mashed banana, applesauce, Greek yogurt and stir to combine.
- Combine oat flour, rice flour, potato starch, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a separate bowl. Sift into the wet ingredients and stir just until incorporated.
- In a separate bowl add the cream cheese, yogurt and monk fruit sweetener. Mix using a hand mixer until combined. Add the egg and mix again, just until the egg is incorporated.
- Pour about 2/3 of the cake batter into the prepared spring form.
- Add the cream cheese filling, gently spread into an even layer.
- Dollop the plum jam evenly over the cream cheese filling, gently swirl into the cream cheese filling.
- Add remaining cake batter to the spring form and spread into an even layer.
- Sprinkle the streusel over the cake.
- Bake in the oven for 40-50 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for 20 minutes. Run a knife around the edges to release the cake. Then let it cool completely, preferably over night to make sure the cream cheese filling sets well.
