LOW CARB ROASTED STRAWBERRY CAKE

If you’ve memorized the very short list of fruits that are okay for low carb diets like I have, you know that strawberries are right there at the top. To make use of all those gorgeous strawberries that are in season, I modified my Low Carb Blackberry Almond Cake recipe to make this roasted strawberry cake. And if you’ve never had delicious roasted strawberries, you are seriously missing out!

HOW TO ROAST STRAWBERRIES

Making the roasted strawberries is really simple. And only has 2 steps:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Stem and cut your strawberries in half. Place cut side down on rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment.
  2. Bake for 20 minutes, stir strawberries and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes until the strawberries are tender. Keep an eye on them and remove from the oven before the juices or edges of the strawberries start to burn. Cool in the pan.

Try to cut the strawberries so they are the same thickness. If some of the strawberries are larger, cut them into quarters.

Gather the corners of the parchment paper to transfer the strawberries, juice and all, into a bowl. Add salt and balsamic vinegar (optional).You’ll use half for making the cake, and the other half for scooping over the top when you serve.

Ingredients to make low carb cake

MAKING THE CAKE

The ingredients for this cake are just low carb baking staples, like erythritol, almond flour, coconut flour and almond milk. If you don’t keep almond milk on hand, you can sub in equal parts of heavy cream and water.

Strawberry Cake in round pan

This recipe is very simple. Just mix all of the ingredients, except the strawberries, in a large bowl. Transfer to the springform baking pan, then spread the roasted strawberries with juice on top. Bake for about an hour. While hot from the oven, sprinkle over a little low carb brown sugar for extra sweetness and flavor if you like. Done!

FREEZING ROASTED STRAWBERRY CAKE

This cake is totally freezer friendly. Just make the cake according to the recipe and allow to cool completely. Wrap tightly in foil, then again in plastic wrap or a large plastic freezer bag. Remove as much air from the bag as possible. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving. Will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months.

*Remaining strawberries for topping can be frozen separately in a small freezer-safe container or plastic bag. Thaw before using.
