Let's make this delicious summer strawberry cake
Making this cake can be divided into two main parts.
The first part is whisking margarine with sugar and few other ingredients and the other part is to combine dry ingredients. Lastly, by combining these two parts together, you can create an amazing fluffy batter of your dreams.
Start by whisking vegan margarine and sugar until fuffy using a hand mixer.
Next, add flax egg and vanilla and whisk until light and airy.
The next part is to combine dry ingredients into a large bowl.
For this part you will need:
- rice flour
- buckwheat flour
- almond flour
- baking powder
- baking soda
These are our dry ingredients. Combine them and set aside.
Now, we need to add dry ingredients into the margarine mixture with spoons along with soy milk and lemon juice. Do not rush this part. You will need to add these ingredients very slow.
Simply add a few tablespoons into the margarine mixture and combine. Then add a little bit of milk and combine. Repeat until you run out of the dry ingredients and milk.
You should create a smooth and fluffy batter.
Pour the batter into a baking pan and add chopped strawberries. Bake for about 30 minutes or until golden brown.
When the cake is baked, cool it down completely before slicing. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
This gluten-free strawberry cake is extra fluffy, so soft, and juicy because of the strawberries The combination of soft vanilla cake batter and refreshing strawberries is so delicious. Serve this cake with a cup of tea or coffee and slow down for a moment to enjoy this amazing taste.
