Gluten Free Strawberry Cake with Strawberry Buttercream Icing


It's been awhile since we have had an excuse for some mommy-daughter baking time, so with some yucky weather this weekend combined with my feeling at a loss for more small person entertainment, we went down to the kitchen and created this little gem. I literally put this one together on the fly with ingredients that we had at the house, and then pulled some inspiration from Pinterest for a little guidance. The cake was a little dry but that was because I had to use some different GF flour than my norm to have enough for a full cake. Next time I would use some yogurt like some of the recipes suggested as well. The buttercream turned out delicious, though!




Gluten Free Strawberry Cake with Strawberry Buttercream Icing
For the Cake
- Box of Betty Crocker Gluten free cake mix with required ingredients or use Betty Crocker Gluten Free Rice Flour and required ingredients to make a plain cake
- Pureed fresh strawberry added to mix (about 1/4-1/2 C)
- Bake at 350 according to cake mix directions

For the Icing
- Prepare a traditional buttercream icing with powdered sugar, butter, and vanilla
- In lieu of the milk, first add about 1/4 C freshly pureed strawberry into mix and only add additional milk if needed based upon consistency
