  • 1/4 cup light olive oil
  • 1/4 cup Spectrum Organic Shortening or coconut oil
  • 1 tablespoon bourbon vanilla
  • 1 tablespoon honey or raw agave nectar
  • 3/4 cup hot water (start with less, especially if you use real eggs)

  1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Lightly oil a 9-inch round cake pan.

  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.

  3. Make a well in the center and add in the wet ingredients.

  4. Beat the mixture until you achieve a smooth batter. It should be somewhere between a cake batter and a muffin batter.

  5. Fold in the blueberries by hand.

  6. Scoop the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth it out evenly using a wet spatula.

  7. Make your crumb topping.

  8. Rub this mixture together with your palms until you get a grainy, sandy crumb.

  9. Sprinkle all over the top of the cake batter.

  10. Bake in the center of a preheated oven for 40 to 50 minutes until the center is firm to a light touch.

  11. Cool on a wire rack.
