Strawberry almond cake recipe (Gluten/egg free & vegan recipe)


Strawberry almond cake recipe.

This is a really tasty moist
strawberry cake recipe.

It is not overly sweet as Chef uses a fair amount of flax seed in this recipe, you can add a little extra sugar if desired as stated in the ingredients list.

This
strawberry and almond cake recipe does not use any margarine, the only fat used is a few tablespoons of rice bran oil so this truly is a butter and margarine free cake recipe.

Chefs cake can easily be sliced into squares or bars.

If wrapped up and kept in the fridge the cake goes even more moist and delicious - Chef really advises keeping the cake in the fridge.

Not only is this scrumptious strawberry almond cake recipe gluten free but it is egg free and vegan too.

Looks great Jeena! I prefer a less sugary cake so this sounds good to me! If I wanted extra sweetness I think I may just add a lightly sweetened icing or whipped topping!
