Peach Upside-Down Cake (Vegan & Gluten-free)

Peach Upside-Down Cake

More Food Allergies

This recipe is for my son, who suffered a summer and spring of mystery hives this year; we discovered after 8 hours in an allergist’s office last month that he is so highly allergic to birch trees that he has developed a birch pollen-food syndrome. He can’t have fruit with seeds like peaches or apples if they are not baked, his peanut allergy is worse and he’s still allergic to eggs and dairy. Furthermore, his igA for gluten was a 93, so he has now joined the gluten-free club with his sister and me. I just sent this kid to kindergarten with a huge list of avoids and a new AUVI-Q®. On a positive note, they seem so much easier to use that epi-pens and they were FREE. Overall, he’s handling it all fine, with the exception of the gluten, but to cheer him up we baked this gluten-free vegan peach cake so that he can enjoy some of the yummy fresh peaches in season right now.

Easy Gluten-Free Recipe

I don’t remember ever eating a pineapple upside-down cake, but it was the inspiration for this peach upside-down cake. I have been playing around with peach pies the summer and still haven’t perfected my liquid ratio. So I decided to take the flavor of the spices that I loved and use them in a peach cake instead! This cake uses a gluten-free cake mix, I used Pamela’s. To make it vegan, I used applesauce 1/4 cup per egg. The cake consistency was perfect!

Peachy Plumcot Smoothie (Vegan)

Most of my random recipes begin with me picking up new things to try at bulk food stores. This week at Sam’s club, I saw this bag of plumcots.  I had never eaten a plumcot before and was curious.

Plumcots are a mix of plums and apricots. This blend I found says that it has flavors of melon and pineapple. However, I also taste apricots and a bit of plum. Generally, I’m don’t like plums; I don’t like the mushy texture. Regardless of what the exact flavor is – the texture is crisp, yet soft, and the flavor is refreshing. It’s perfect in a smoothie! My daughter gave it an A -. She’s a tough critic, but then she asked what an A- means; 7-year-olds are so funny. I give it an A+, and I’m a tough teacher. I felt that I had to post it today because these plumcots are only in season for 4 – 5 weeks and this smoothie rules. Run and buy some plumcots ASAP!

This peachy plumcot smoothie is simple, easy, healthy, and delicious! It features Young Living NingXia Red, which is a whole-body supplement drink that is packed with superfoods including wolfberry, plum, aronia, cherry, blueberry, and pomegranate juices and extracts. NingXia Red benefits include support for energy levels, normal cellular function, and whole-body and normal eye health.* We also like to make popsicles with it, add it to our smoothies, and take a shot glass of it in the morning, because it’s full of immune-boosting antioxidants! You can buy it here.
