Healthier Strawberry Topped Cake

Categories Dessert, Easy Recipes, Healthy Recipes

This healthier strawberry topped cake is super moist and so yummy! It is one of my very favorites! The cake it’s self is not strawberry but a rich vanilla cake that perfectly compliments the strawberry toppings!

It is made with almond flour and coconut sugar so it can be metabolized better by the body instead of a sugar rush that comes from more carbohydrates and refined sugar. If you are new to healthier bakes, trust me the almond flour and coconut sugar have no negative effects on the flavor or sweetness of the cake! In fact, they add to it’s charm and give it the best texture and depth of flavor. My sugar loving husband loved this cake and asked for more! The crumb is super delicate and delicious.
