I’ve been working on a Gluten Free Strawberry Cake Recipe. I frosted the last cake with this naturally colored and flavored fresh strawberry whipped cream recipe. It took a lot of adding more of this and that, but it was worth the time. When my hubby tasted it he said, “It tastes like a strawberry!” I asked him if it was sweet enough. He replied, “It’s perfect.” I hope you think so too. Enjoy!
