preview

×Jump to RecipeJump to VideoLight, fresh and delightfully sweet, this gluten free strawberry cake is the kind of cake that’s stunning and impressive but incredibly easy to make! It’s the perfect cake for birthdays, potlucks and special celebrations or just an ordinary weekday treat!“I’ll have another slice please!” (This is a phrase you’ll hear all the time when this cake is on the dessert menu!) And between you and me… it’s an incredibly easy cake to make. Even the fluffy strawberry frosting is easy. And aside from the frosting, it’s a one bowl cake recipe. Just one mixer bowl is all you need to mix this glorious cake. In the instructions I mention a stand mixer bowl, but you could easily use a hand mixer too – just use a large enough bowl to hold the batter.Mix it up and portion it in the cake pans – you’ll have strawberry cake with strawberry frosting in about an hour and 15 minutes!Love cake?

This cake comes together so beautifully and will impress all of your guests, but it's actually super simple to make! Here are some other great things about this recipe:There are a few tips that will give you the best results with this gluten free strawberry cake:As with other gluten free baking recipes, make sure to allow all ingredients to come to room temperature before combining or mixing.Use a digital scale to measure your ingredients for the best result. Weight is a much more accurate measurement than cups.Letting the batter rest before baking allows time for the starches to fully absorb the liquid ingredients, keeping the texture of your cake soft and light.I said one-bowl cake and I mean it! Use either your stand mixer bowl or a large bowl for a hand mixer for your gluten free strawberry cake batter. Add the dry ingredients first and mix (step 1 above), then add the butter and oil (step 2), then add the rest of the cake ingredients (step 3). And that’s it!Another thing to add to the list of important tips for gluten free baking is the rest time for batters. After mixing together the ingredients, it’s important to let the batter rest for a period of time before portioning it into the pans and baking. That period of time in this recipe is about 30 minutes (step 4 above).While the batter is resting, it’s time to preheat the oven and prepare the pans. A simple butter coating helps these cakes bake beautifully and not stick to the pans. The key is to really coat them well with butter (step 5 &amp; 6).Bake the cakes for between 35 and 40 minutes and then let them cool on a wire rack. After they’ve cooled for about 20 minutes, turn them out of the pans and let them finish cooling.While the cakes are finishing their cooling process, prepare the delicious frosting that will take this cake over the top!Softened butter is the key here – it needs to be soft enough that squeezing it easily leaves an indention. Not melted, but soft. And you can either sift your powdered sugar ahead of time or sift it directly into the bowl with the butter.Then mix to combine the first cup (Make sure to use a large, deep bowl as the powdered sugar may fly everywhere).Add in the next cup and a half and mix again.Finish off with the last portion of powdered sugar and add the milk too. Start with the lower measurement of the milk and add more as needed. Then mix in the strawberries.Take a taste!Frosting cakes can be as simple as frosting the top layer, then adding the other layer, frosting the top and serving. (Which is what I did with this cake) Or you can double the frosting recipe and really coat it well and even decorate it. Either way, the cake frosts easily and cuts well, so they’ll be rave reviews regardless of how fancy or simple you make it.Can I make this recipe into cupcakes? Yes! Just follow the instructions as written all the way down to preheating the oven. They’ll bake at the same temperature but you’ll portion the batter into 24 cupcake cups. The baking time will be reduced to about 25 minutes (check the middle one with a toothpick though). What’s the best frosting consistency for frosting this cake? You may have looked at the frosting ingredients and wondered why there is a range for the powdered sugar and the milk… that’s because it may vary depending on where you live, even the conditions in your kitchen. And even personal preference. I like my frosting to be a bit thinner, fluffier and easy to spread. So using the lower end of the powdered sugar and the higher end of the milk, produces this consistency perfectly. If you are looking for frosting that’s a bit more solid, use the full 3 ½ cups of powdered sugar. What’s the best way to store this cake? If you have any cake left over, the easiest way to store it is to slice it into individual slices and place them in a plastic storage container. Then refrigerate these pieces for up to 3 days.from votesPrintPinRateHungry for more gluten free recipes? Check out these tasty treats!Sounds yummy... Making it!ReplyMore Baking Help
