This Spiced Pear & Apricot Cake is perfect for the holiday season. No frou-frou cake stand is required at this unpretentious Christmas celebration. Instead, a wooden chopping board serves as a perfectly practical platter.

The humble cake has come a long way since its origins in Egyptian times; its uses are multi-faceted. Cakes are accountable for revolutions.
Stone fruit season is upon us and peaches are at their prime. I adore peaches in all forms, but especially in this recipe where their juicy flesh melds into the buttery, almondy cake. Topped with whipped cream enhanced by Greek yogurt, you won’t be able to stop at one slice.
While strawberries are cheap as chips, I try to use them in every way possible. You would have no idea this cake is missing dairy or eggs – the coconut yogurt lends the most moreishly moist texture and the cake will stay this way for days.
