Vegan Strawberry Shortcake

June 5, 2020 by Ariel Leave a Comment

The begining of summer means many things: warm weather, longer days, gardens, running through sprinklers, and more. But one of my favorite things about the start of summer is strawberry season! And it isn’t really summer until you’ve made STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE, am I right?!

If you thought that being plant based meant you had to miss out on something this delicious, think again. This vegan strawberry shortcake is everything you’ve ever wanted it to be: Fluffy, buttery shortcake, juicy red berries, and clouds of smooth whipped topping. (Are you drooling yet?) Let’s do this!…

Aquafaba Whipped Topping

Move over whipped cream, there’s someone new in town. Friends, allow me to introduce you to aquafaba. 😀

What is aquafaba, you might ask? It’s really just a fancy word for chickpea juice… Not exactly appealing. But truth be told, it’s amazing! It’s easy, cheap, has a neutral flavor (ie doesn’t taste like beans), and makes stiff peaks that are swoon worthy. And since it’s free of the 8 major food allergens, it’s safe for virtually everyone around your table!…

Valentines Day is almost here, and I have the perfect dessert for your special meal. Enter this incredible Vegan Strawberry Vanilla Cake with Strawberry Buttercream. Yum. 😀

I’ve been holding onto this recipe for over a year, waiting for the perfect time to share it. And now, not only is it perfect for Valentine’s Day, but Seasoned with Sunshine turns three this month!! (yay!)

I’ve loved working in this little corner of cyberspace, slowly (but surely) adding yumminess and sunshine post by post over the last three years. What started as a love for cooking and a super supportive friend who urged me to “just go for it” has turned into a hobby and a dream that I hope keeps growing. And I hope each of you stay with me for the journey! 🙂

So, the bottom line is that it’s time to celebrate. And if there’s a cake worth celebrating with, it’s THIS Vegan Strawberry Vanilla Cake with Strawberry Buttercream!…
