Welcome to the world of gluten-free deliciousness! Today, we’re diving into the sweet, fruity universe of gluten-free strawberry cake. Not only is this cake a feast for the eyes, but it’s also dairy-free—because who needs dairy when you have strawberries? So grab your apron and let’s whip up some magic!
Feast Your Eyes!
First, let’s get started with a glorious image of our star: the gluten-free strawberry cake. This beauty is not only a delight to your taste buds but also a treat for the gram, am I right?
Ingredients to Make Your Dreams Come True:
Gather these heavenly ingredients and prepare for a taste explosion!
- 1 ½ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
- ¾ cup dairy-free milk (almond or oat, your choice!)
- 2 eggs (or flax eggs for our vegan friends)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
- Dairy-free whipped cream (optional for topping)
Instructions: Let’s Make Cake Magic!
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan—because we can’t let the cake stick, right?
- In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Make it fluffier than your grandmother’s couch cushions!
- Add in the applesauce, dairy-free milk, eggs (or flax eggs), and vanilla. Mix it until it’s smoother than a jazz saxophonist.
- Gently fold in those vibrant strawberries. You want them to be evenly distributed like the best party guests!
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly. Don’t forget to taste-test that batter—quality control is key!
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Your kitchen will smell like a bakery, and soon, you’ll have your very own strawberry delight!
- Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Patience is a virtue—don’t rush it!
- Once cooled, top with dairy-free whipped cream and more fresh strawberries for that final touch that says “Look at me, I’m fabulous!”
Now slice it up, share (or don’t—no judgment here), and enjoy every scrumptious bite of your gluten-free strawberry cake! It’s not just a dessert; it’s a gluten-free joyride!
