Gluten Free Strawberry Shortcake

January 12, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 26 Comments

Hi Everyone,

I have been kind of all over the place when posting my weekly recaps, but your just going to have to wait until later this week for me to post it.  Instead I have a special treat to share with you.   First let me show you, then I will tell you all about it!!

Gluten Free Strawberry Shortcake

Isn’t it just the cutest looking strawberry shortcake?  This recipe belongs to  Chef Angela McKeller, an award-winning recipe writer, freelance recipe developer/tester, cookbook author, Frenchie enthusiast, adrenaline junkie, and avid foodie!   She has a new cookbook out on kindle and soon to be a hard copy called Gluten-Free Made Easy As 1,2,3: Essentials For Living A Gluten-Free Life.  I was asked if I would like to make one of the recipes for her upcoming cookbook, to give my opinion and show a photo of the Strawberry Shortcake that I made.  To my surprise she used my photo and put a little blurb about me in her cookbook!  I couldn’t believe it!  One of my photos and my name with my blog name is in an actual cookbook!!  This has been the biggest accomplishment in my blogging career so far.  I am truly honored and ecstatic!!!

Gluten Free Strawberry Shortcake


Your probably wondering if  I am now going to be gluten-free. Well I’m not, but it doesn’t mean I don’t like gluten-free foods.  I support all food groups whither your gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian, meat-eater or a chocolate fanatic.  I love all foods and I am always willing to step out of my comfort zone to try new things and this recipe was sure new to me!!  But let me tell you, it is a fantastic recipe!  You know my Husband, the picky one, the one who won’t even try anything if he thinks he doesn’t like one of the ingredients.  Well I told him I was making Gluten Free Strawberry Shortcake for a cookbook and he was like ewww!!!  Gluten Free!!!!  No thanks!   Then I gave it to him after all how could he not try one of these darling little shortcakes?  Well he couldn’t resist and you know what?  He ate 2 of them in one night!  He was shocked how good they were!  He even liked the coconut whip cream I put on top!

These shortcakes are light, fluffy and kind of reminds me a little bit of a sponge cake.  They are really easy to make too!!  Instead of traditional flour you use cornstarch.  I never used cornstarch in baking before and I was pleasantly surprised that it turned out!!  For the whip cream I used canned coconut!  All you do is place a can of full fat coconut into the refrigerator overnight, don’t shake it and the next day, carefully open the top and scoop out all the coconut meat, leaving the coconut juice for another use.  Beat the coconut meat with some vanilla extract and sugar if you’d like, until it is light and fluffy  Now you have coconut whip cream!  I love doing this!!  I will tell you though, it does have a coconut taste, so if you’re not a coconut fan, I don’t recommend the whip cream.  Plus these shortcakes are also good plain!  Hubby and I took just the shortcakes the next day for our lunches.

A light, fluffy gluten free shortcake filled with fresh strawberries marinated in a pinch of bourbon.
Serves: 12 Shortcakes
Ingredients
  • ½ cup GF butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon GF vanilla extract
  • 1 cup GF cornstarch
  • 1¼ teaspoons GF baking powder
  • pinch nutmeg
  • Strawberry Topping:
  • 2 cups chopped fresh strawberries
  • ½ cup granulated sugar (I used ¼ cup)
  • 2 teaspoons bourbon (optional)
  • Whip topping (optional)
  • 1 (14 oz) can Coconut Milk (full fat)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Prepare a 12-cup muffin pan and set aside.
  3. Combine the strawberries, sugar, and bourbon in a bowl and stir well. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour.
  4. To make the cakes, cream the butter and sugar together until the butter appears dissolved, but feels gritty to the touch. Add the eggs one at a time, and beating well after each addition (important for fluffy cakes!), then add vanilla.
  5. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch, baking powder, and nutmeg together. Set mixer to low, and add slowly to the creamed mixture. Mix until well blended, then fill each muffin cup half full.
  6. Bake for 15 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the pan while still warm, using a butter knife to loosen the edges.
  7. When cool, top with a few teaspoons of strawberry topping and GF whipped cream or French Vanilla Ice Cream, if desired. Yum!
  8. To make coconut whip cream:
  9. Place the can in the refrigerator overnight.
  10. Open the can and scoop the thick, creamy white part off the top. Do not use the liquid, use that for another use.
  11. In a large bowl, whip the coconut cream and vanilla extract on high until medium/firm peaks form. Top onto shortcakes, and reserve the rest in the fridge for up to three days.

    This strawberry shortcake recipe sounds delicious – definitely need something lighter like this during spring time! I have been experimenting with strawberries too – a French Clafoutis (very similar to a souffle) for something sweet and not too heavy or rich: http://www.indigomemoirs.com/2013/04/15/strawberries-clafoutis/

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

🌿
I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together. 
🌿
Tomorrow I am going to start to share Valentines Day. My dining room is filling up with hearts. It’s so fun. I can’t wait to start sharing. Hope you have a beautiful day!
