- 1 cup of fresh strawberries, pureed

- 3 large eggs

- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, softened

- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Pan

Pour the batter into your prepared cake pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before transferring it to a wire rack.

Notes

Optional: Strawberry Frosting for Extra Flavor

While the gluten free strawberry cake is delightful on its own, you can take it up a notch with a simple strawberry frosting. To make a strawberry frosting, you’ll need:

1 cup of heavy cream (or coconut cream for a dairy-free option)
1/4 cup of powdered sugar
1/4 cup of pureed strawberries

Whisk the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until it forms stiff peaks. Gently fold in the pureed strawberries to create a smooth, pink frosting. Spread over the cooled cake for a beautiful and delicious finish.
