Strawberry Cake Gluten Free Recipe

Gluten Free Strawberry Cake gives us another reason to rejoice that Spring is finally here. A sweet smelling and tasting strawberry dessert that is sure to have you coming back for more!

What’s my favorite season?

Spring.

What do I look forward to every spring besides warmer weather and spring flowers bursting forth?

Strawberries!!

I love the fragrance of strawberries. I love when they are so ripe that juice runs down your fingers and chin when you take that first bite!

Have you ever gone to a farm to pick your own strawberries? No? Well let me tell you, the smell of a field full of ripe strawberries is UNBELIEVABLE!  I don’t know whether to lie down and close my eyes and dream of desserts or start picking them quickly (eating one or two before they make it to my basket) so I can get home and prepare a luscious strawberry concoction.

Now to get the most benefit from strawberries you need to remember they are very perishable. If you do not have the luxury of picking yours straight off the plant then they should only be purchased a few days prior to use. Make sure to choose berries that are firm, plump, free of mold, and which have a shiny, deep red color and attached green caps. Since strawberries, once picked, do not ripen further, avoid those that are dull in color or have green or yellow patches since they are likely to be sour and not as good. Full ripe berries will not only have the peak flavor and texture, but will have more nutrients.

Strawberries are not only super delicious, they have excellent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, cardiovascular, anti-cancer benefits as well as being low on the glycemic index!!
I mean, what more could you want?  Oh so tasty and good for you too!

This Gluten Free Strawberry Cake is the best of both worlds, containing fresh and frozen strawberries.

This cake is super moist due to the frozen strawberries and their syrup.  The texture is is soft and the aroma is heavenly. Every bite seems to melt in your mouth and needs to be followed by another taste.
This cake is addicting!

I was not sure I could make a Gluten Free Strawberry Cake that would please the entire family, but this one did!

Easy to make, sweet to eat and fun to share!!
