2/3cuppure organic cane sugar (you can add a little more if you want it sweeter)
2tspbaking powder
1/4tspsea salt
1/4cupvegan butter, melted and cooled (or melted coconut oil)
1/4cupapplesauce
1cupunsweetened almond milk (or any non-dairy milk)
1tspvanilla extract
2cupsstrawberries, diced or quartered
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease and line with parchment paper a 9 inch round baking pan or grease a springform pan (what I used).
Combine the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt) in a large bowl. Whisk until well combined.
Add the wet ingredients (melted butter/oil, applesauce, almond milk, and vanilla) and mix with a spatula until just combined, being careful not to over mix. ***Make sure your milk is warmed a little bit if using coconut oil so it doesn’t harden.
Fold in 3/4 of the strawberries. Pour batter into the pan and cover the top with rest of the sliced strawberries. Sprinkle 1 Tbsp of sugar evenly over the top (optional).
Bake for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown and toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let it cool in the pan on a wire rack. Enjoy! Serve with coconut whip or non-dairy yogurt.
