What’s summer without strawberry shortcake? If you are gluten and dairy free you don’t have to go without!
This shortcake has double the berries – both in and on the cake! Strawberry puree adds just enough moisture to the cake. Sweetened strawberries on top add a burst of flavor.
Double strawberry shortcake is a great baking project for kids. My three-year old loved helping. He especially liked to mash the berries for the topping.
For an extra treat, add vanilla ice cream on top of the cake before adding the sweetened strawberries.
If you don’t have any fresh strawberries left you can simply defrost frozen berries. So you can make this treat year round.
My kids definitely approved of double strawberry shortcake. I hope you do too.
