Vegan Apricot Cake with Coconut

Treat yourself to this fluffy and moist Vegan Apricot Cake with Coconut. It is simply divine. The recipe draws inspiration from another family favorite, this delicious German apple cake. I’ve adapted the original recipe to make it vegan and use what I had on hand – some fresh apricots.

Start the recipe by slicing the apricot halves. Making small cuts but not cutting through the apricots makes them bake quicker. I recommend using a paring knife for this step. Next, mix the dry ingredients in a bowl, mix the wet ones in a different one, combine all of the ingredients and pour into a lightly greased springform pan. Top with the prepared apricot halves and sprinkle with shredded coconut and brown sugar. The temperature of the cake never gets hot enough to fully melt the brown sugar, so it retains its pleasant crunch. I also love topping the cake with coconut flakes for a finishing touch, as it makes your cake look more professional and appealing. But the brown sugar and coconut flakes are completely optional though very delicious. Bake the apricot cake for 50 to 60 minutes, let it cool, and enjoy!

To make the Vegan Apricot Cake with Coconut, you will need the following ingredients:
