What is Juneteenth?
Juneteenth (a merge of the words/date June Nineteenth) marks the date in 1865 that the last enslaved people learned of their freedom. More generally, Juneteenth is the emancipation of enslaved African Americans throughout the former Confederate States of America , outside Native American lands.
For over 150 years since, Black American families, home-cooks, chefs, and culinarians have commemorated the summer holiday with a myriad of food traditions that tell a story of the perseverance of a people. To Celebrate, I've whipped up this Super Moist Almond Peach Cake recipe. I’ll also be sharing a list of other delicious, flavorful vegan and vegetarian dishes that can be found below!
Add this to your arsenal of peach recipes!
You’ll love it because it’s easy to whip up as a summer or fall treat, but not so easy to resist from accidentally eating more than one piece (not that I had this issue or anything).
Peaches not in season? Easy fix, use frozen peaches. No almond butter, use cashew butter, instead!
Now, I’ve had peach cake in the past, but, never have I ever added almond butter to it. Something that I also remember is seeing the recipe and noticing how much white sugar was added….this is after I ate 2 slices. Sheesh!
Thankfully, with this almond peach cake, you don’t have to worry about the sugar thing. It’s sweetened with REAL maple syrup, natural sugars from peaches, and the natural sugars from vegan peach yogurt.
It is my good guess that you’ll be pleased at the lightly-sweetened satisfying flavors this cake brings to your palate.
