Dairy-Free Strawberry Cake
This Dairy-Free Strawberry Cake is exactly what I needed to accompany my afternoon tea. With Spring right around the corner I couldn’t think of any other fruit better than strawberries to kickoff the season and bake a delicious cake!
I’ve always preferred sweets over salty snacks and maybe it’s because my mother is such a great baker, or maybe it’s because desserts, just looking at them, make me happy.
I love watching the baking competitions on tv and the more I watch them and see how beautiful, people can make desserts look and taste, the more I want to learn and become a better baker.
This Dairy Free Strawberry Cake was adapted from Smitten Kitchen’s Strawberry Summer Cake.
I’ve been trying to ingest less dairy products, so when making this cake I thought, why not try to make it dairy-free? And that’s exactly what I did!
I love trying out new recipes and making them lactose-free, I did the same thing with my pancakes a few years ago!
Homemade Strawberry Cake Recipe
How I made a Strawberry Cake Recipe Dairy Free!
- I substituted the butter with coconut oil.
- And the dairy milk with coconut milk.
- The coconut oil doesn’t actually give the cake a coconut taste, but the milk does.
I am a coconut lover so this cake was perfect for me and my roommate/ official taster thought the same thing!
It’s an easy recipe and if you want you can even make muffins instead of a whole cake. That’s what I’m planning on doing for my next house party.
