This gluten-free strawberry shortcake is the easy, light, and summery dessert you’ll want to make again and again! With just 6 simple ingredients, it’s fluffy, naturally gluten-free, and topped with a generous layer of whipped cream and sweet, juicy strawberries.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • For the whipped cream:
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • For the strawberries:
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350° Fahrenheit and grease a 6-inch cake pan.

2. Beat together the eggs and sugar with a hand or stand mixer on high speed until pale and thick, about 5 minutes.

3. Add in the almond flour and baking powder. Beat for another 30 seconds to one minute, until batter is just combined.

4. Transfer the batter to your prepared cake pan. Bake the cake 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted down the center of the cake comes out clean.

5. Remove cake from the pan and transfer it to a wire cooling rack to cool.

6. While the cake cools, add the sliced strawberries and a tablespoon of sugar to a bowl, and stir until the strawberries are coated in sugar. Set aside.

7. Pour the heavy whipping cream into a large bowl and use a hand or stand mixer to beat the cream until light and fluffy with stiff peaks, about 5 minutes.

8. Once the cake has completely cooled, top it with the whipped cream, then the strawberries.

9. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.

Notes

Make sure eggs are at room temperature for best volume and fluffiness.

Almond flour gives the cake a naturally sweet and moist texture—do not substitute with all-purpose flour.

Cake can be baked ahead and stored tightly wrapped at room temperature for up to 1 day before topping.

Add a splash of vanilla or almond extract to the whipped cream for extra flavor.

This shortcake is great for birthdays, barbecues, or a light summer dessert.
