First off, let me start by saying I never really enjoyed cooking anything from scratch until quarantine 2020 changed our lives. Being home for three plus months really challenged my cooking game and I am so thankful for it!
I have a newfound love for cooking & baking. Which I think having a newly remodeled kitchen, that I designed from scratch, definitely added some inspiration for me.
This Dairy Free cake is super simple to make. I combine all ingredients into one large glass bowl for easy clean up. I highly recommend use an electric mixer to really blend all ingredients and it will save your arms from an added workout!
You can choose any fruit that you like an keep the measurements the same for all other ingredients. I make this cake a few times a week (I know, so bad I have a big sweet tooth!) and I change out the fruits depending on what I have on hand at home.
For this recipe I used Raspberries, but I have this cake with Blueberries, Strawberries, Blackberries, and sometimes I combined all of these for extra berry anti-oxidants!
You can always double up on the recipe if your going for a thicker, larger cake. The recipe listed below has a serving size of about 4. My husband and I finish a cake between the two of us in about 1-2 days.
For baking I use a glass baking pan 7″ x 11″ x 2″ for reference.
