That luscious strawberry buttercream frosting

Can we just admire how gorgeous that strawberry frosting is? The best part is that it’s so simple to make — no strawberry jam necessary! Get the full recipe, tips & tricks for making it here. (Hint: it can easily be made dairy free!) You’ll use the frosting as the strawberry cake filling and to cover the outside of the chocolate cake layers.

Easy ingredient swaps

Out of a few things? Feel free to make these simple swaps in the strawberry chocolate cake:

• Instead of coconut sugar you can use regular brown sugar.
• Try swapping the almond butter for a chocolate almond butter, chocolate tahini or chocolate hazelnut butter for even more chocolate flavor!
• If you don’t have cacao powder, regular unsweetened cocoa powder will work out well.

can I use regular flour?

I would not recommend using any other flour in this strawberry cake recipe besides the almond flour as the texture will drastically change. This cake is meant to be made with almond flour for the proper texture and flavor and a swap like all purpose flour will not turn out well.

Can I make it dairy free?

Yes! This gluten & grain free strawberry chocolate cake can also be made dairy free. Just swap the regular butter in the frosting to a vegan buttery stick, and use dairy free chocolate chips for the ganache.
