Gluten-Free Swedish-Strawberry Cake is a tasty dream of summer whisked away in a cloud of whipped cream and fresh strawberries with a lemon curd filling. Perfect for any midsummer festival, summer party, or anytime. Not to mention, adding blueberries makes it perfect for the 4th of July as well. I can almost taste the moist cake with the lemon curd, whipped cream, and strawberries. There really is no better dessert.Gluten-Free Swedish Strawberry Cake

Perhaps you are wondering what is a traditional Swedish Midsummer Strawberry Cake? Traditionally Midsummer is a huge festival in all parts of Scandinavia. Of course, it wouldn’t be Midsummer without a Swedish Midsummer Strawberry Cake. Every Midsummer table will also include this cake. Believe it or not, the cake is a nice soft, white cake often with lemon curd and fresh strawberries in between the layers. Most of the time it is a two-layer cake but can also be a three-layer cake. Above all, it is topped with fresh whipped cream and fresh-cut strawberries to decorate.

Gluten-Free Swedish Strawberry Cake

Therefore, I have turned it into a Gluten-Free Swedish Midsummer Strawberry Cake recipe by using cassava flour and traditional potato flour. However, I strongly suggest using Swan’s Potato Starch Flour for the best results. Indeed the modification doesn’t stop there since I have also made this recipe refined sugar-free by using monk fruit sweetener. Did I mention that this cake is so moist? No one in your family will be able to tell that it is gluten-free. Of course, if you have never used Cassava Flour or Monk Fruit Sweetener please check out my blogs about them.

In all honesty Monk Fruit Sweetener, Cassava Flour, and Swan’s Potato Starch Flour can all be found on Amazon.

Gluten-Free Swedish Strawberry Cake

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup of coconut oil
  • 3/4 cup monk fruit sweetener
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup cassava flour
  • 1/2 cup potato flour

  • 2 tbsp vanilla monk fruit sweetener
  • 1/2 cup of water

Filling:

  • 1/3 cup Refined Sugar-Free Lemon Curd

Decoration:

  • 2 cups whipped cream
  • 1 1/2 cups of fresh strawberries

First, preheat the oven to 350. Secondly,  oil and flour two 6-inch cake pans. Thirdly, melt coconut oil or butter in the microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Next, combine beaten eggs to monk fruit sweetener until thoroughly combined. In a separate bowl combine cassava flour, potato flour, baking powder, and vanilla monk fruit sweetener. Next, combine egg mixture with water and melted coconut oil or butter beat until combined. Finally, add 1/2 of the flour mixture in with the egg mixture until thoroughly incorporated. Lastly, add in the remaining flour and thoroughly combine. Pour 1/2 the batter into each oiled and floured cake pans. Bake 25 – 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Directions for decorating Gluten-Free Swedish Strawberry Cake:

Remove the cakes from pans about 10 – 15 minutes after removing them from the oven and allow to cool. Once cakes are cooled place one cake on a cake stand with pieces of wax paper just under the edge of the cake. Top this bottom cake with a layer of lemon curd.Gluten-Free Swedish Midsummer Strawberry Cake with lemon curd fillingNext, place freshly sliced strawberries on top of the lemon curd.Gluten-Free Swedish Midsummer Strawberry Cake with lemon curd filling and strawberries.Finally, place the second cake on top of the sliced strawberries.Top with second layer cake.Frost the cake with whipped cream using an ISI whipped.

    That strawberry cake looks so yummy. I doubt I’ll be able to make something as perfect as that even if I watched a thousand videos. You make it look so easy; your family is lucky to have you!
