Because of the swath of heat and humidity we got this week (not complaining at all!), we've been grilling outdoors or making no-cook meals more than usual. That said, the sweet teeth around here sometimes just need a baked treat. Nothing super-sweet or rich, but toothsome enough to fill that craving whenever it strikes. Coffee cakes, in my opinion, fit that purpose to a T - especially when they're homemade, since you can keep the sweetness below tooth-aching storebought levels, add your own spices and ingredient twists, and (of course) know that it is perfectly fresh.
Remembering the Summer road trips my family took when I was young, where we always stopped at a local doughnut shop halfway to our destination, I decided to recreate the flavours of the "old fashioned" doughuts and muffins we used to savour all through the Summer. I decided to switch up the sweetener, ditching granular sugar for my favourite vegan caramel sauce (made with soy milk this time) to give it a richer, rounder flavour that worked perfectly in the 100% whole grain batter and heightened the spiciness of the nutmeg and light smokiness from the salt. To get the "edge" of savoury that comes along with the true "old-style", tallow-fried doughnuts, I added just a hint of nutritional yeast - the popular vegan "cheesy flavour" secret for sauces. Thankfully, the cake doesn't taste anything like those sauces - just delicious! Of course, being topped with a decadent streusel doesn't hurt either!
