How to Make a Gluten Free Strawberry Lemonade Cake 

Making this delicious cake is surprisingly easy. All you need are some fresh strawberries, lemons, gluten free all-purpose flour, sugar, eggs, butter, baking powder and vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. First preheat your oven to 350°F (176°C) and then grease an 8-inch round cake pan. 

Next mix together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl until everything has been evenly combined. In a separate bowl whisk together the eggs and melted butter or margarine until light and foamy. Then add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients along with ½ cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 2 lemons). Finally fold in 1 cup of chopped strawberries until everything is evenly distributed throughout the batter.  Pour the batter into your prepared cake pan and bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool before serving. 

Add some extra flair by topping your finished cake with lemon slices or dusting lightly with powdered sugar!
