Gluten Free Strawberry Shortcake

Ever notice that food bloggers, specifically gluten free ones, fall into a few categories?

There are some that post at least one week before major Holidays, with all the hard to execute Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter foods.

Many a Holiday dinner has been successful thanks to them.

There are some that post a heck of a lot of baked goods, sometimes a few in a week.

Which is great for all of you new to baking gluten free, it can be a quite challenge at first with all those ratios of flours to starches that produce the perfect muffin, cake or scone.

I have to admit baked goods are certainly easier to photograph, you can poke, prod and angle as long as it takes to get the perfect shot.

Not as easy with dinner fare, most nights my family is sitting at the table waiting to be fed, while I try to get a good shot of the chicken parmesan.

Then there are those like myself that just post whatever we are eating that particular day.

Real food that is easy to prepare gluten free, without a lot of hard to obtain ingredients.

With the added bonus of tasting fabulous.

Today is no exception.

These Gluten Free Strawberry Shortcakes won’t disappoint even your friends and family that can eat gluten.  Promise.

Happy 4th of July!

Gluten Free Strawberry Shortcake

Ingredients

  • 19 oz (3 cups) GF Vanilla Cake Mix, I used Bob's Red Mill
  • 3 large Eggs, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup Vegetable Oil
  • 1/2 cup Water, at room temperature
  • 4 cups fresh Strawberries, washed, stemmed and halved
  • 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream, chilled
  • 2 Tbsp superfine Sugar
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325°F.

Line standard 12-cup pan with paper liners; coat with cooking spray.

In large mixing bowl add cake mix, eggs, oil and water.

Mix until no lumps remain.

Fill each liner with about ¼ cup batter (about 3 tablespoons) or about 1/2 full.

Bake 20 to 22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Cool cupcakes in pan for 15 minutes.

Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

In the meantime combine the strawberries, sugar and 1 tsp of vanilla, set aside.

In a chilled bowl with chilled beaters, beat cream until soft peaks form. Add sugar and beat until stiff peaks form. Whisk in vanilla and serve immediately.
