Ingredients
– 1 ½ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– ½ teaspoon baking soda
– ¼ teaspoon salt
– 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup fresh strawberries, pureed
– ½ cup fresh strawberries, sliced for topping
– Whipped cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Creating the Gluten Free Strawberry Cake can be simple if you follow these organized steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Incorporate the eggs one at a time, making sure they are well blended after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Blend in Pureed Strawberries: Gently fold in the pureed strawberries, mixing until fully combined.
6. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
7. Pour Batter: Pour the cake batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly.
8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. Check if it’s ready by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
9. Cool the Cake: Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Prepare for Serving: Once completely cooled, top the cake with sliced strawberries and whipped cream if desired.
