Gluten Free Moist Strawberry Cake

Gluten Free Moist Strawberry Sponge Cake – I thought this is such a good idea to have a gluten free cake once in a while. The texture gives a different sensation, it feels healthy somehow and not too fattening. This cake turned out incredibly fragrant with the smell of butter cake and strawberry that filled my entire kitchen. The cutting sound you can tell how moist and soft the cake it. I got inspired by a sharing on social media and I thought this is such a great idea. I changed the entire recipe though. I used coconut flour as I do not have any gluten free flour. Coconut is as fine as I could get, it’s like in between normal flour and wholemeal flour. I hope you’re inspired and give this cake a try. Enjoy!
