My husband loves this simple, moist gluten free Cherry Apricot Cake. I make sure to use organic dried fruit in this dessert since pesticides levels tend to be high in conventional cherries and apricots and more concentrated in dried fruits. I often purchase my organic dried fruit at the local health food store, Vitamin Cottage; for more “hard to find” ingredients such as organic dried cherries (sans added sugar) one of my favorite sources is an online company called The Raw Choice.

It’s cold here and I’ve been getting a lot of exercise shoveling snow and chipping ice off the sidewalk in front of our house.  The boys and I had a great time yesterday walking around the neighborhood for an hour in the snow.  Today is bright and sunny –might be time to go out for a quick walk!

  1. WOW this was the most delicious cake I have had for a long time. I recently was diagnosed with gluten, cow’s milk and sugar intolerances among others, and when I saw this recipe decided it could be the one for me. Tried it last night and couldn’t stop eating it. Also brought some to work today for a gluten free friend and she loved it too. Cannot believe how moist it is. I will also experiment with other fruits. I did wonder what the best way to store it is ? (not that it will last too long in my house any way :) Cooked it for the 35 minutes and it was perfect.
    Am going to try the cookies tonight

    • Anne, thanks for your comment! For storing the cake I allow the it to cool overnight and then wrap it and keep it in the fridge for up to one week. I’m so happy to hear this cake was a WOW!
