Gluten Free Vanilla Cream Strawberry Stuffed Cake

This Gluten Free Vanilla Cream Strawberry Stuffed Cake is to die for.

The cake is fluffy, the filling creamy and the chocolate ganache rich and thick. I promise you that it is super simple to make with ingredients that are easy to find.

I saw a similar cake on a Facebook post a friend shared, it looked delicious but the ingredients they used made me lose my appetite. So I decided to do something about and recreate a recipe that’s gluten-free and free of refined sugars, made with healthy fats and ingredients that the gut and tastebuds will appreciate.

As I always say, for every unhealthy recipe there’s always a nutritious and mouthwatering alternative, it just calls for a little imagination. 😉
