Why It Works
This cake uses almond and coconut flour for gentle digestion, coconut sugar for a lower glycemic impact, and warming spices like ginger and cinnamon that support circulation and skin clarity. Dried fruits add natural sweetness and antioxidants, while applesauce keeps it moist without heavy oils.
