Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup coconut sugar (or brown sugar)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil (melted)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Fruity Addition
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries (chopped) Use ripe, in-season strawberries for the best flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, coconut sugar, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to distribute all the dry ingredients evenly.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the almond milk, melted coconut oil, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract until fully blended.
Baking
  1. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture and stir until you achieve a smooth batter. Be careful not to overmix!
  2. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  4. Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  5. Slice the cake and serve it as is or with a dollop of coconut whipped cream for an extra treat!
