Grain-Free Strawberry Breakfast Cake
Description
The Grain-Free Strawberry Breakfast Cake centers on almond flour, providing a gluten-free base with a dense but tender crumb. Eggs, extra virgin olive oil, pure maple syrup, lemon juice, and vanilla extract combine to enrich the batter, adding moisture and subtle sweetness without refined grains. Fresh sliced strawberries are folded into the smooth batter, distributing fruity bursts throughout. Chopped raw almonds sprinkled on top add a contrasting crunch after baking. This cake bakes until golden and set in the center, offering a soft, moist texture where almond and strawberry flavors mingle. Its composition suits those following grain-free diets or anyone looking for a fruit-forward baked breakfast treat.
