Gluten free StrawberryCake

It is time for the fresh strawberries! Here is my on recipe for you to bake a summer cake! It is easy so called nude cake and can be done during the day or two. So you need just few minutes now and then during a busy day to make it. You need the strawberries only when filling it so you can for example bake the cake on the late evening before going to sleep, then next day coming from the work get the strawberries and fill the cake. And on the evening just before you need it you can decorate it.

StrawberryCake

4 eggs

Pour the eggs into a glass, mug or something. Don't shake. Notice the part of the glass which the eggs touch gets wet surface inside the glass. Pour gently the eggs into the baking bowl.

NOW measure as much sugar as there was eggs in the glass. Meaning that put so much sugar into the glass until its surface reaches the level the eggs reached. Got it? To that wet part of the glass only.

Mix eggs and sugar well to become foam.

How well? Until you are able to draw the monograms of the one you love by lifting up the beater up (turn it off my dear!!!) and letting the dough drain down. When the monograms stay until finished and you can still see the monograms for a tiny moment -that's enough. 💜

NOW measure as much naturally gluten free flour mix as there was sugar in the glass (I use Semper FinMix and no, they still don't sponsor me, it just is a good mix).

1½ teaspoon baking powder

Mix well flour and baking powder into the dough.

Put it all into 26 cm diameter round baking tray and cook in 175 Celsius degrees for about 45 minutes. Keep your ye on it. It is ready when you try it by wooden toothpick and nothing wet gets attached to it.

Slice the cake (when it has cooled down proper) to two parts (base & top). Moisten the cake by milk (or water). How much depends on it what you like. I used ½ dl for the base and ½ dl for the top. If it happened that it was for a bit too long in the oven build the cake upside down. Meaning; change the top part to become the base upside down. Use a bit more milk to moisten it. During the time the damage is fixed. You need just few more hours to let it be in the fridge when filled up.(If the cover is burnt you can take dark parts away.)

Whip well
4dl cream

Add and mix well
½ dl sugar


Spread half of the whipped cream over the base.

5 dl fresh strawberries
Slice one by one and spread over the cream side by side until you have enough (= not all).

Place the top over it all. Moisten also the top part. When you are just about to eat the cake spread the rest of the cream over it and place the rest whole strawberries for the taste and decoration.

Notice that I have put up GlutenFreeZone page! From there you can find general instructions for gluten free cooking and baking! It is made up especially for those who don't have coeliac disease (or have a fresh diagnose with it and are a bit confused) but sometimes want to serve gluten free.
