Strawberry shortcake is a delicious and versatile summer or spring treat. This version has a vanilla cake base rather than biscuits for a more dessert-like feel.
The cake is made with Camel Milk, which adds protein and a mild, sweet flavor. Eggs and coconut oil contribute healthy fats and make the dish fluffy and moist. A combination of coconut flour, almond flour, and arrowroot starch create the perfect light yet still slightly dense texture, very similar to pound cake.
Whipped coconut cream slightly sweetened and flavored with maple syrup and vanilla extract top the cake. And don’t forget lots of juicy and sweet fresh strawberries on top.
This creation’s base is made simply by creating a cake batter in one bowl. Eggs, maple syrup, camel milk, and coconut oil are the wet ingredients. The dry ingredients are an assortment of gluten-free, lower-carbohydrate flours.
It’s important to allow the cake to completely cool before topping it with whipped coconut cream and strawberries.
Coconut cream whips in very much the same way as dairy whipping cream, but it’s dairy-free. Be generous with the fresh strawberries for maximum deliciousness.
You could also top the cake with other berries such as blackberries or blueberries.
