Gluten Free Strawberry Shortcake

Image

Last Sunday was my dads birthday so I decided to make him his favourite cake which is a strawberry shortcake. This one is gluten and dairy free, and I was told that this is my best dessert I have made to date! It is pretty simple to make and if your going to enjoy a slice of cake, angel food cake is the type to enjoy because it is low in fat and my recipe is low in sugar as well. 

What You'll Need: 

1 1/2 cup egg whites

3/4 cup stevia ( you could use slightly less, depending on how sweet you want it) 

1/4 cup raw sugar

1/4 cup corn starch

1/4 cup brown rice flour

1/4 cup tapioca flour

1/4 cup potato starch

1 1/2 tsp. cream of tartar

dash of salt

3/4 tsp. vanilla

1. Preheat oven to 350F

2. Add egg whites to bowl, set aside at room temperature for 30 mins. 

3. In a separate bowl sift 3/4 cup stevia, starches and flours, set aside.

4. Add cream of tartar, salt, vanilla, to egg whites, beat at medium speed until soft peaks form.

5. Slowly add 1/2 cup raw sugar, beating until hard peaks form.

6. Gently fold in flour mixture, pour into greased cup cake pan or strawberry shortcake pan. 

7. Bake for 45 mins, if using cup cake pan, bake for about 20 mins.

8. Allow it to cool, then gently remove, and top with your choice of whipped topping and strawberries ( I use dream whip).
