Almond Peach Cake

If you put fruit on cake, it's ok to eat it for breakfast, right? It is with this dairy-free vegan almond peach cakes! So perfect with ripe, summer peaches.

If you put fruit on cake, it’s ok to eat it for breakfast. That’s the rule, right?

Of course, the cakes I make aren’t super decadent. This one, for example, is whole-grain enough that it could just as easily be baked in a muffin tin or mini loaf pans… the shape alone would make you feel differently about what time of day is cake-appropriate.

Aside from the sprinkle of brown sugar on top, there’s no refined sugar. It’s moist on the inside thanks to a combo of coconut oil, almond milk and applesauce. And then, the best part – the peaches. Ripe, summery, juicy peaches.

This cake has one issue and that is that the peaches don’t last much longer than a day after they’re baked in. In our house, that doesn’t seem to be a problem…
