- Grease and line a 23cm cake tin
- Mix the almonds and baking powder in a large bowl
- Blitz the butter, coconut sugar and vanilla in a food processor until light and fluffy
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each one
- Slowly add the flour mixture
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl and fold in the strawberries
- Pour it into the cake tin and bake for about 45 minutes
- For the coconut cream open the refrigerated tin and drain off the milk that will have separated from the cream (use this in a smoothie or as a drink)
