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/

One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors.

I love my new bedding, it’s so feminine and simply beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Swipe the photo to see how happy Sully is on the bedding.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which is okay by me. Yesterday I worked on my bedroom and it feels so good having a clean bedroom. It was a chore that I needed to get done.
🐾
My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.
🐾
The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals. 
🐾
I’ll be honest, Downlite Bedding are the only pillows that I sleep with. They are fabulous and will last for years. I highly recommend them. They won’t disappoint you. Downlite Bedding was nice enough to give my followers a 20% off discount code to there shop: DYGEN20.

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.

I’m sharing with you my last photo of my peonies. I’m so sad that they didn’t last. I got about 6 days from them. I guess that’s means I need to go to Trader Joe’s and get more before peony season is over.
🌸
Do you have any summer vacation scheduled this year?

Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll be counting down to my next vacation, which will be the week of the 4th of July. I will tell you, it felt so nice not having any plans and doing work in the garden.
🌻
This weekend I finally made it to the Farmers Market and I picked up these amazing sunflowers. They are such a happy flower. 
🌻
When I got them, I couldn’t resist doing a flowers in the sink photo. I haven’t done one of these since Fall. Now I may have to go back to the Farmers Market next weekend because they had so many flowers and most were only $4.00 a bundle.

Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I pretty much spent the whole week working in my garden, so I apologize for all the flower photos. 
🌸
This is a view of my fenced in garden. The flowers on the left are zinnias, and next to them is beardtongue and in the background, butterfly bush.  In about a month or so, this background will pop with lots of orange from my Mexican sunflower and yellow from the black eyed susan. I just hope my black eyed susan’s make it. They are struggling. 
🌸
I have to say I have been enjoying working in the garden. It’s therapy to me. It just makes me feel good to sit back and see all your hard work start to bloom. I can’t wait to see what the garden looks like a month.
🌸
What do you like to do that you consider your therapy?
