For the cake

  • 1/2 (1/5) dl (cups) Brown monk fruit sweetener
  • 1/2 small Banana mashed
  • 1/2 (1/5) dl (cups) Applesauce
  • 1/2 (1/5) dl (cups) Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp Fiber syrup/agave/honey
  • 3 (1 1/5) dl (cups) Oat flour
  • 3/4 (1/3) dl (cups) Rice flour
  • 1 tbsp Potato starch
  • 1/2 tbsp Cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 tsp Baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp Baking soda
  • 1/3 tsp Salt
  • 1 (2/5) dl (cups) Plum jam (see note 1 for the recipe I used)

For the streusel

  • 1 1/4 (1/2) dl (cups) Oat flour
  • 2 tbsp Brown monk fruit sweetener
  • 1-1 1/2 tbsp Coconut oil
  • 1/2-1 tbsp Applesauce
  • 1/2 tsp Cinnamon

Cream cheese filling

  • 150 g Cream cheese (I used reduced fat)
  • 50 g Plain yogurt
  • 4-5 tbsp Monk fruit sweetener
  • 1 Egg

Instructions

For the streusel

  • Combine the ingredients for the streusel and mix until you have a crumbly texture, set aside.

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.
