One of the joyous thing about summer is the abundance of berries and stone fruits: strawberry, raspberry, black berries, blue berries, cherries, peaches and apricots just to name a few!

This recipe was inspired by fellow blogger who uses flax seeds in place of the eggs for vegan baking.

She had made this cake with peaches rather than apricots. But I accidentally bought apricots and didn’t realise my mistake until the last minute!

But inspite of this mistake, the cake turned out very well! No surprises there as I have always been an apricot jam person!

Cake was bit on the dense side as the batter had very little liquid but I like the texture of this cake due to the addition of flax seed powder.

Give this recipe for vegan apricot cake a try.

I only made minor changes to her recipe.

Lovely baking!
