Bonus? It’s vegan, gluten-free, and you’ll need just 10 ingredients. Let’s bake, friends! This cake begins with the upside down plums! We arrange sliced plums (apricots work, too!) in a circular pattern at the bottom of a pie pan. Generously greasing the pan with vegan butter helps prevent the plums from sticking and cane sugar creates a caramelized sauciness. Next, we make the cake batter. Cane sugar, vegan butter, almond milk, and applesauce are the wet ingredients, with optional almond extract giving it a pronounced almond flavor! If you love almond extract, be sure to check out our Gluten-Free Orange Almond Loaf Cake and Maple Almond Buckwheat Granola, too. For the dry ingredients, a combination of gluten-free flours (almond, potato, and brown rice) gives it a light, cakey texture and beautiful crumb. The remaining cake essentials include baking powder for rise and salt for flavor. After spreading the batter over the plums and baking, the fruit becomes bubbly and tender. It’s then time to flip that cake on its head, slice, and enjoy! We’re SO excited for you to try this plum cake! It’s:SoftFluffyAlmondyFruit-studdedPerfectly sweet& SO delicious! It would be a beautiful brunch centerpiece or summer dessert for hosting! Enjoy it on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or coconut yogurt.
