Description

Sweet, fluffy and delicious strawberry shortcakes sandwiched with fresh berries and a light, creamy strawberry vanilla frosting. The perfect dessert to kick off summer!

Ingredients

Scale
  • Vegan Shortcake
  • 1 cup almond milk
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 tbs arrowroot starch*
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup cane sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • Strawberry Vanilla Frosting
  • 1/2 cup strawberries, blended
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and grease an 8×8 baking sheet with coconut oil. Add the vinegar to the almond milk and set aside for about 5 minutes until it starts to curdle.
  2. In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and arrowroot starch. Whisk together until mixed.
  3. Take a large bowl or the bowl from your stand mixer if you’re using one and add the melted coconut oil, vanilla extract and sugar together. Beat it with a hand or stand mixer until it becomes fluffy.
  4. Add in the almond milk and then the flour mixture a little of each at a time mixing between batches. You want to mix this slowly and stop as soon as all of the ingredients are incorporated. Pour the mixture into the greased baking sheet and smooth out with a spatula. Bake for 25 minutes and check it. The cake is done when the edges are just starting to brown and you can stick a toothpick through it and it comes out clean!
  5. While the cake is baking, make the frosting. Whisk together the coconut oil, blended strawberries and vanilla extract until smooth. Add in the powdered sugar and beat until it becomes fluffy and creamy.
  6. Serve this cake as a strawberry shortcake sandwich. Cut the cake into 2 inch square pieces. Take one piece and place frosting and extra slices strawberries on top. Then stack it with another piece of cake and more frosting and strawberries! This cake was really good with coconut cream on top as well or ice cream if you want be extra unhealthy and delicious.

Notes

*You can also make these gluten free by using any gluten free flour and a little extra almond milk.
**If you’re not vegan, try the frosting with butter instead of coconut oil!
***If you don’t have arrowroot starch, use corn starch
