Ingredients

• STRAWBERRY CAKE ::
• • 2 cups white rice flour
• • 1 cup tapioca flour
• • ½ cup brown rice flour
• • 1¾ cups of organic pure cane sugar
• • 2 tsp of baking soda
• • 2 tsp of xanthan gum
• • 1 tsp of salt
• • 1 cup whole milk or coconut milk
• • 1 cup pureed strawberries
• • ½ cup of olive oil
• • 2 TB of apple cider vinegar
• • 1 TB of vanilla
• STRAWBERRY CREAM FROSTING ::
• • 1 cup softened butter
• • 3 cups organic powdered pure cane sugar
• • ¼ cup pureed strawberries

Directions

• Butter two 9 inch cake pans and line the bottom of both with parchment paper. (I just trace the bottom of the pan on the paper and cut).
• In a large bowl, whisk the flours, sugar, baking soda, xanthan gum, salt.
• In a medium bowl, blend the milk, strawberry puree, oil, vanilla, and vinegar with hand beaters. Do NOT leave out the vinegar – I know it is a weird ingredient but it reacts with the baking soda to help with the rise!
• Pour the wet ingredients into dry ingredients and combine. I started with hand beaters and finished with a spatula.
• Pour into buttered cake pans. The batter is thick and kinda sticky just FYI.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Check the cakes at the 25 minute mark though in case our ovens run differently.
• Remove from oven and let cool for about 10 minutes. Then take the cakes out to cool completely on a wire rack.
• Once the cakes are completely cooled you can make your frosting. Just put all the ingredients into a medium mixing bowl and beat with hand beaters until smooth.
