Gluten-Free Strawberry Cake

I have difficulty digesting dairy (Lactate pills do not help me.) and gluten. But I can usually figure out a way to convert most recipes to dairy and gluten free. I’m just starting on this project. So please be patient. As I try out my recipes, I will let you know how it goes.

subheading: Strawberry Reduction:

2 pounds fresh strawberries (32 ounces)

4 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 tablespoon lemon juice , Optional

subheading: Strawberry Cake:

½ cup unsalted butter, For dairy-free use Smart Balance butter.

1 ¾ cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

3 large eggs, , room temperature

2 ½ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour with xanthan gum, I like Pillsbury gluten-free. Not all gluten-free flours are created equal. You may experience different baking results depending on the gluten-free flour blend you choose.

2 teaspoons gluten-free baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

½ cup milk, Dairy-free use unsweetened almond milk.

2 teaspoons white vinegar

1 ½ cups strawberry reduction

2 drops pink or red gel food coloring , Optional if you want the cupcakes really pink.

subheading: Strawberry Buttercream Frosting:

1 cup unsalted butter, softened, Dairy-free use Smart Balance butter

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

2 to 4 tablespoons milk, Dairy-free use unsweetened almond milk
