And we’re back with Strawberry Week in Teenage Cakeland! Where one girl turns a surplus of strawberries into a surplus of cakes.
In case you missed them, here are the first two entries for Strawberry Week:
Devil’s Food Strawberry (Tall)Cake
Strawberry Cookie Dough Stuffed Chocolate Cupcakes
Today I’m sharing my first on-purpose gluten-free recipe, in the form of a flourless chocolate cake topped with strawberries. The Italian teacher at my school, Signora Brunetti, is my study hall teacher, and although I often bring in desserts or talk about the things I make in front of her, I feel bad because she cannot have any of it. So, as an end-of-the-year present, I decided to make Signora a cake that she could actually eat.
This recipe was a spin-off of the Devil’s Food Strawberry (Tall)Cake, which was in turn inspired by Pioneer Woman. A single layer flourless cake topped with whipped cream and strawberries.
And as I am writing this, I realize I didn’t take a picture…I’m really angry with myself. I’m sorry everyone. But just picture the Devil’s Food Strawberry (Tall)Cake, in a single layer:
Unfortunately, I did not have a piece of this particular cake. I know, how un-Dru-like of me. But it filled my kitchen with the most wonderful chocolately smell, so I knew it had to be delicious, and I was reassured that it was. I almost didn’t post it because I don’t really have many conclusions, but it seemed too beautiful not to.
Signora said something really nice to me about this cake. She was absolutely touched that I had made it for her. Not for a grade, because I just have her for study hall. Just because. That made me feel really good, how happy I made her 🙂 See, I told you cake can improve your life!!!
To all my gluten-free readers, and everyone else, too, enjoy this darling little cake, and please tell me how it is!

Let me clarify. Browned butter strawberry cookie dough, stuffed inside a chocolate cupcake, topped with strawberry whipped cream. But I thought that was too long of a title. This is a conglomerate of a few different, but equally amazing, recipes … Continue reading
Last week my dad bought a gigantic tub of strawberries and I, being a baker, was inspired to make a few cakes. Well, two cakes, and 26 cupcakes. Plus, I need a strawberry and raspberry recipe for this month’s Behind … Continue reading
Happy Memorial Day! I’d like to start this post by saying thank you to all of those who are serving or have served our country. Thank you! This cake is a little tribute to the red, white, and blue colors of … Continue reading
Happy Cinco de Mayo! In Mexico, this holiday is simply the remembrance of a victory against the French in 1862 and not that big of a deal. However, Cinco de Mayo (and all other holidays) is obviously much celebrated in the food blogging world, and … Continue reading
As usual, this week has been really hectic for me. I have a low tolerance for stress, and it…it stresses me out. But baking usually helps. It always helps. Because when I’m baking, that’s all there is to focus on, … Continue reading
