Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¾ cup avocado oil
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 cups chopped fresh jackfruit pods
  • ⅔ cup unsweetened coconut flakes, divided
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon coconut washed or plain rum (or water/milk)
Instructions
  1. Combine the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and ginger in a medium bowl and mix with a spoon.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine the oil, eggs, vanilla and sugar and mix until well combined. Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture, and stir just until combined. Gently stir in the jackfruit and ½ cup of the coconut flakes.
  3. Grease a bundt pan (or 3 small loaf pans like I used) and our the batter in the pan(s). Bake at 350 degrees until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about an hour. Let cool completely before removing the cake from the pan(s).
  4. Combine the powdered sugar and rum, adding a bit more sugar or rum as necessary to get a glaze texture that isn't too runny, then drizzle over the top of the cake. Sprinkle the remaining coconut on top of the glaze.
