Description

A wholesome and delicious vegan blueberry upside-down cake made with whole grains and minimal effort. Perfectly sweet, moist, and bursting with juicy blueberries.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/3 cup neutral oil (like avocado or canola)
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
  2. Spread blueberries evenly in the bottom of the prepared pan. Drizzle with maple syrup and set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, almond flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix almond milk, oil, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until just combined.
  6. Carefully pour the batter over the blueberries in the cake pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate.
  9. Allow to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use frozen blueberries straight from the freezer—no need to thaw.
  • Substitute almond flour with oat flour for a nut-free version.
  • This cake stores well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
