Instructions
 

Prep

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Grease and flour a loaf pan.

Combine

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
    2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup coconut sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • In a separate bowl, combine the almond milk, melted coconut oil, applesauce, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
    1 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1/2 cup melted coconut oil, 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Bake

  • Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Remove the pound cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Glaze

  • To make the strawberry glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, plant-based milk, and strawberry extract (if using) until smooth and creamy.
    1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk, 1/2 teaspoon strawberry extract (optional)
  • Once the cake has cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top. You can also decorate it with extra fresh strawberries if desired.
