Eggless strawberry cake with almond butter sauce

Fresh strawberries and almond butter sauce turn this simple eggless cake into something special . The cake soaks up the sauce and adds to the rich flavor. Strawberries add a refreshing tartness to it. Serve it with warm sauce or dollop of whipped cream and a generous sprinkle of slivered almonds on top. 

The sauce is simple and to die for.....I would just make the sauce and use it on everything .... pancakes, toasts and ice-cream.. it is delicious !!!

look at the crumb .... don't think about calories , pour the sauce generously !!!
