Make an upside-down cake on a winter’s day and every little thing’s gonna be OK. So maybe that’s not a real saying, but this recipe makes it oh-so-true. Borrowing a sweet move from pineapple upside-down cake, this recipe places apricots and coconut sugar in the bottom of the pan so an orange saucy topping is waiting when the pan is flipped. Building upon a Simple Mills almond flour mix, this cake comes together free of gluten, dairy and refined sugar, so more folks can taste this bright delight.
