Equipment

Mixing bowls
Whisk
8-inch round baking pan
Parchment paper
Toothpick or cake tester

Ingredients

2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
3 large eggs
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups almond flour
1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
1 teaspoon baking powder
a pinch salt

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8-inch round pan with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, applesauce, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil.
Add the almond flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt to the wet mixture and stir gently until combined.
Pour half the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly, then arrange half the sliced strawberries on top, pressing them lightly into the batter. Repeat with the remaining batter and strawberries.
Bake in the oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let it cool before slicing.

Notes

Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor and texture; avoid frozen ones as they release excess moisture.
Substitute almond flour with coconut flour, but use half the amount due to its higher absorbency.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days, then refrigerate; for longer storage, freeze slices for up to three months.
Sprinkle a dash of cinnamon over the strawberries for enhanced flavor. Enjoy this cake on various occasions like brunches, picnic gatherings, or simply to treat yourself!
