Gluten-Free Strawberry Shortcake Twist
- 3 whole Eggs
- 3 teaspoons Vanilla
- 3/4 cups Gluten Free Corn Flour
- 1/2 cups Ultrafine Sugar
- 1 pound Strawberries, Stemmed And Quartered
- 3 Tablespoons Sugar
- 2 Tablespoons Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
- 1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
- 1 cup Fresh Blueberries
- For the cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease a dessert shell pan with non-stick cooking spray (mine is a 6 cavity 3-1/2-inch-by-1-1/2-inch pan) or line 12 muffin tins with baking cups.
- Set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer using the wire whisk attachment, beat eggs and vanilla on medium-high for 10 minutes, or until the mixture is thick and creamy.
- While that is mixing, sift the corn flour three times and set aside.
- Gradually beat in sugar on medium speed.
- Using a rubber spatula, fold in a third of the flour until combined.
- Repeat, adding the rest of the flour a third at a time until all the flour is gone.
- If using a dessert shell pan: scoop about 1/2 cup of batter into each shell.
- If using a muffin tin: scoop about 1/4 cup of batter into each baking cup.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- The tops will be sweet and sticky.
- Cooling: If using dessert shells, cover a baking sheet parchment paper, sprinkle it with powdered sugar and flip out dessert cups onto the paper.
- (Now, mine didnt come out that easily.
- I gently used a knife and cut around the edges.
- That got them to pop out.)
- The bottoms are super sticky.
- The parchment paper and powered sugar will help keep them from sticking.
- Cooling: If using a muffin tin with baking cups, place muffin tin on a wire rack until cool.
- Remove cakes from muffin tin once cooled.
- For the strawberries: In a small bowl, place strawberries and sugar.
- Mix well, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- For the whipped cream: Place a metal stand mixer bowl and whisk into the freezer for 10-15 minutes.
- Then remove it from the freezer.
- Add sugar and vanilla to bowl.
- Add whipping cream and whisk on medium until the cream creates stiff peaks.
- For the presentation: Take one dessert shell (or cupcake, but first remove wrapper) and place on an individual serving plate.
- Add a spoon full of strawberry mixture into the shell cup or on top of the cupcake.
- Add a dollop of whipped cream.
- Add another spoon full of strawberry mixture.
- Garnish with fresh blueberries.
