Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F, and lightly oil or spray an 8-inch spring form pan (or regular 8-inch cake pan). Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

Add all ingredients for the cake except for the strawberries and raw almonds to a blender and blend until smooth.

Step 3

Fold the sliced strawberries into the cake batter. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and smooth into an even layer. Top with the raw chopped walnuts.

Step 4

Bake on the center rack of the oven 45 to 55 minutes, or until the cake turns golden-brown and the center is set up. Turn off the oven and allow cake to stand in the hot oven another 10 minutes.

Step 5

Allow cake to cool at least 1 hour before slicing and serving.
