Ingredients
 

Cake Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose gluten free flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter at room temperature
  • 1 ¾ cups sugar
  • 4 egg whites at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • cup milk
  • cup plain Greek yoghurt

Strawberry Filling Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries sliced
  • 2 teaspoons sugar or more depending on sweetness of strawberries

Whipped Cream Ingredients

  • 1 pint heavy cream well chilled - large carton
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F and line two 9 inch cake pans with parchment paper.
  • Sift together gluten free flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in medium bowl and set aside.
  • Cream the butter and sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer, then add egg whites and vanilla - beat for approximately 30 seconds.
  • Reduce mixer speed to low and add the flour mixture, milk, and yogurt - Beat until combined.
  • Divide batter between the prepared pans
  • Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until lightly golden and toothpick comes out clean. Recommended to cool pans on racks for about ten minutes, then remove cakes from pans and cool completely.

For the strawberry filling:

  • Combine the strawberries and sugar in a small bowl, and set aside to allow the juices to release.

For the whipped cream:

  • Place the bowl and whisk attachment for your stand mixer or a metal or glass bowl and beaters for your hand mixer in the fridge or freezer until they are cold.
  • Add the cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla to the chilled bowl.
  • Beat on medium-high to high speed until soft peaks form. Do not overbeat.

Time to Assemble!

  • Slice cooled cake layers in half to create 4 thinner cake layers
  • Place one layer of the cake on a plate, and spread with about a half cup of the whipped cream.
  • Layer on about half of the sliced strawberries
  • Spread about another half cup of whipped cream on top of the strawberries.
  • Top with the second cake layer.
  • Repeat strawberry and whipped cream steps until you've reached the final cake layer.
  • Spread the remaining whipped cream over the top and sides of the cake to cover completely.
  • Garnish with the whole and/or sliced strawberries, as desired.
