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 first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t k Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t know it in California. We are still getting rain and it’s in the mid 50’s. We should be in the 70’s by now. I wonder what the summer temps will be like this year?
🌺
Even though it may not feel like Spring,  there is no reason why we can’t start prepping for it. It’s going to be time soon to plant flowers, add a floral wreath to the front door and of course a welcome mat to invite everyone to your home. 
🌺
I wanted to share with you my new welcome mat that I got from @cocomatsnmore. They just had their Spring release and oh my gosh so many cute ones. I love there welcome mats. They are thick, bright colors and fast shipping. I absolutely love the flowers and the saying “Live Life in Full Bloom”. It’s so very true.
🌺
What are you most looking forward to this Spring?

I did have a very hard time taking my sink tray off the counter. I’ve had the tray there for years, so I thought I would change it up. Don’t be surprised if the sink tray makes its way back. 😂 I may add some herbs to my window sill for some fresh green color.

My husband and I are not fancy when it comes to eating dinner. Since it’s just the two of us, we never use the dining room table, but always eat at the kitchen counter.
🥕
There is no reason why we can’t eat fancy at the kitchen counter. I am using my new placemats that I got from @vmathome. They are thick, water, stain resistant and can handle heat up to 350F degrees. I love the color and style of the placemats. They have a wide variety of styles and colors, along with matching table runners.
🥕
I styled my table with bright spring colors that I was inspired by carrots. I still have bunnies on the brain. lol I had fun with this place setting, it’s so nice to have dinner with a little style then having it on a plain plate and paper napkins.
🥕
Have a wonderful weekend!!

The Jute Tree with the Eggs and the Wooden Bunnies are also from 12 Timbers. The Jute Tree is so much fun to add to your decor. I love the colors of the felt eggs.

So much fun to add anywhere in your home.

Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Sprin Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Spring. I looked back last year at this time and my garden was starting to flourish. Boy you should see it now. It’s a big muddy mess. With all the rain and high winds we sure have a huge mess to clean. I can’t wait until we get some warm days. 
🐰
I’m sharing with you one of my favorite vignettes that I created last year. I may have a slight obsession with bunnies. Every year I say no more buying bunnies, but then I end up with a few more in my collection. Lol

Have a beautiful day!
