Author Notes
This cake isn't too sweet, so you can serve it with whipped cream or coconut cream, sweetened with more maple syrup and cinnamon. —anka
Test Kitchen Notes
This cake is made mostly from red lentils (!), and you wouldn't know it unless you were told. If you are a wheat-free person, this is a surprisingly good—and healthy—cake. No refined sugar, just some maple syrup and the dried fruit to sweeten it. I really liked it as a dessert with the whipped cream, but it was also nice on its own as a breakfast bread. —CK1
