Coffee Cake - Simple Soaked 

Just a basic cake in which you can mix many different types of fruit. This is a flexible 'soaked' method, which I think makes a more moist cake than mixing wet into dry flour mixture.

~Mix and let sit to hydrate (15 minutes-12 hours):
14 oz yogurt milk or 'buttermilk'
14 oz whole wheat pastry flour
-add more milk if it is way too thick.

After the hydration time, whip together and stir-in:
4 oz melted coconut oil
2 egg
2 oz sucanat
2 oz maple syrup or honey

Add and gently but thoroughly stir-in:
1 t baking powder
1/2 t baking soda
1 t salt

~Stir in blueberries, apple, rhubarb, pear, dried currants, etc.

Bake in:
-one 9x13 pan
-two 9x9 pans

~Bake at bake 400* about 25-40 minutes, until an instant read thermometer reads 190*.

You can use convection baking but more delicate cakes have a better texture without the convection.
