Peach Almond Cake (vegan, gf)
Grab some yummy peaches and make this delicious peach almond cake before summer is over! It’s probably one of my favorite cakes I’ve ever made. I love the almond flavor, nuttiness, sweetness/tartness from the peaches, how moist it is, all the textures, and it’s actually pretty healthy too! Healthy cake that tastes amazing?! Yes please! It’s super moist from all the peaches and it just melts in your mouth. One of my favorite parts is the contrasting crispier edge of the cake. It pairs so well with the tender, moist cake. It’s made from oat flour and almond meal, or ground almonds. It’s also refined sugar free and lightly sweetened with pure maple syrup and coconut sugar. I added some ground flaxseed to the cake to add protein, fiber, and healthy fats. It’s easy to whip up and makes your house smell AMAZING. It tastes so good and your family and friends will love it!
