Dairy Free Strawberry Cake
Dairy Free Strawberry Cake before it goes in the oven.
Just lightly place strawberries on top.
A variation is this Dairy Free Strawberry and Blueberry Cake
Place strawberries about 1 cm away from the edge of the
cake tin so they don't become strawberry jam and stick to the tin.
I tried to make this dairy free Strawberry Cake with almond meal, honey and rice milk but failed dismally. It was in the oven for over 2 hours. It just burnt and stayed raw in the middle. To say I was disappointed is an understatement.cake tin so they don't become strawberry jam and stick to the tin.
I have not given up I will try again. Going grain free and paleo is a difficult business. I am new to this way of cooking so learning every day. Stay tuned I will figure it out soon.
In the meantime enjoy as is until I can get it healthier!
