Chocolate Strawberry Traybake (Gluten & Dairy Free)

strawberry chocolate cake 1

Hello everyone, I made this delicious Gluten and Dairy Free Chocolate Strawberry Traybake for my family BBQ on Saturday. I couldn’t decide whether to share this recipe on my Gluten and Dairy Free Strawberry Trifle recipe first. Thanks to everyone on Instagram who voted with 67% of you picking this chocolate cake recipe. I think I’ll do that again next week – it is always nice to engage with everyone and hear what you want to see on the website.

This recipe is pretty simple to make and it bakes in 40 minutes. The cake sponge mixture can be made in one bowl in about 5 minutes. If you want to make this a layer cake you can divide the mixture between two 6″ round cake tins and reduce the cooking time to 25 minutes. The frosting can then be used to sandwich the cakes together.

For those of you that wanted to see the strawberry trifle recipe, don’t worry I’ll post that soon.
