Follow @kalejunkie for more! STRAWBERRY APRICOT SNACKING CAKE that tastes just like a sugar cookie, with a fruit topping, but BETTER, and it happens to be gluten-free, refined sugar-free, and can be made vegan. I got the idea for this cake when I was in Hawaii last week sitting on the beach 😏, so came home, tried a few things, and this is where we landed. A vanilla cookie base topped with fresh peaches and strawberries, sprinkled with brown sugar and coconut, for the ultimate EASY summer dessert. You can snack on this as-is, or top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Either way, you are going to LOVE IT!⁣
⁣
Makes ⁣
3 apricots, chopped (I used the Robata apricots from @peaches_la)⁣
3/4 cup strawberries, chopped⁣
1 3/4 cups all purpose flour (OR gluten-free 1:1 flour, I like @bobsredmill)⁣
1/2 cup + 2 TB granulated monk fruit (I used @lakanto) OR regular sugar OR coconut sugar⁣
2 tsp baking powder⁣
1 tsp baking soda⁣
3/4 tsp kosher salt⁣
1/4 cup apple sauce (OR 1 egg)⁣
1 stick plant-based butter or regular butter, melted (OR 1/2 cup avocado oil OR 1/2 cup melted coconut oil)⁣
1/2 lemon, juiced⁣
2 tsp vanilla extract⁣
TOPPINGS: 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut shreds and 1 tb brown sugar (omit to keep sugar-free)⁣
⁣
Preheat oven to 350F. Spray a 9-inch spring pan or round cake pan well. If using the spring pan, you can line the bottom with parchment paper, if desired. Chop apricots and strawberries and set aside. In a large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt). In another bowl, mix together the wet ingredients (apple sauce, melted butter, lemon juice, and vanilla). Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Transfer batter to the pan and use a spatula to smooth it out. Top the cake with the apricots and strawberries. Sprinkle with coconut spread and brown sugar. Bake 45-50 minutes until the edges are golden & a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool, slice and enjoy. ⁣
