This gluten free strawberry rhubarb cake is a whole mess of goodness, and it may look like an actual mess but it’s so worth making this spring/summer/whenever you happen to have fresh or frozen strawberries and rhubarb around. It’s made with a lightly sweet gluten free browned butter vanilla cake, layered with heaps of pillowy soft ricotta + whipped cream, and piles of roasted strawberries and rhubarb. It’s happiness in a bowl (or plate, though it’s a bit of a challenge with this one) and despite it’s aesthetic, it’s a brilliant and easy cake to make for guests or your favorite people (including yourself!). If you aren’t a fan of…

Giant Gluten Free Strawberry Banana Muffins
These giant gluten free strawberry banana muffins are one of my childhood favorites in muffin form! Strawberry banana and strawberry kiwi were two of my favorite fruity flavor combos as a kid, so you better believe this was one of the flavors I was most excited to bake into a giant muffin! For those of you just joining, I started creating GIANT muffin recipes over a year ago after reminiscing over the giant Costco muffins we used to eat as kids prior to getting diagnosed with Celiac. The giant muffin saga has since developed into a plethora of flavors beyond the classic Costco lot, though over the past few months…

Gluten Free Filled Strawberry Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Buttercream
New recipe alert! Gluten free filled strawberry cupcakes with my favorite cream cheese frosting! It’s been a minute since I posted a new recipe here – it’s been a wild (and VERY positive) term here at Oxford and I haven’t been doing much recipe development! The past 8 weeks have been an absolutely whirl wind: falling in love, getting Covid (and isolating with the person I fell in love with), baking lots of stuff but mostly things I’d baked before (“comfort bakes”), working more on my PhD here at Oxford as I prepare for future field work, exploring more of the UK countryside with housemates, and now at the end…

Gluten Free Red White & Blue Cupcakes
Tis the season for ALL of the red, white, and blue items you own to make their annual appearance, including these brand new gluten free red white and blue CUPCAKES! Thank goodness my friend Natalia asked if I could make a 4th of July treat this year because I realized I had absolutely no “patriotic” bakes on here – although I do consider lots of my bakes to embody the values and goodness of this nation. For example, these Black Lives Matter shortbread cookies, this rainbow pride cake, this trans pride cake, this BLM Swiss roll, these Juneteenth strawberry hibiscus cupcakes, or this black sesame cake commemorating Day of Remembrance…

Giant Costco Copycat Gluten Free Strawberry Rhubarb Muffins
Strawberry rhubarb is one of those classic combos that reminds me of summer potlucks, with bowls of pasta salad and cornbread and hot dogs and hamburgers and flimsy paper plates and plastic cups. Hot, southern Oregon summers (for those of you not from the Pacific Northwest, southern Oregon is not the same as Portland/Seattle – those two cities perpetually washed in grey and rain – it’s actually darn hot, sunny, and dry from May-September). So here I am, wishing for a hot southern Oregon summer, making these MASSIVE gluten free strawberry rhubarb muffins because that’s as close as we’re gonna get for now. And for those of you new to…

Gluten Free Roasted Strawberry Rhubarb Tart
Strawberry rhubarb is one of those perfect pairs. Sultry summer evenings with slices of strawberry rhubarb pie, thick sweet juices dripping out of latticed crusts, or strawberry rhubarb crumbles and slab pies laid out on potluck tables just waiting for seconds and thirds on flower-lined paper plates. It just feels quintessentially summer. Which, perhaps, makes this dessert a bit pre-mature, maybe just hopeful that summer might grace us a little sooner than expected this year after the year we’ve all had so far. There will always be struggles we have to work through but we are facing the final battle of so many life-or-death issues like police brutality and the…

Ultra Pink Gluten Free Strawberry Angel Food Cake
Any high school musical theater folks out there? Or musical theater folks in general? I was BIG into musical theater in high school – and still am, though I’m just a fan off the stage instead of on it. Those moments before the curtain rose, or each time you waited in the wings for an entrance, or mimed dance moves back stage to get out all of that nervous energy were the ultimate thrill. And every time that curtain came up or you walked onto the stage you were entirely free of yourself – you were living this totally fantastically new life of Cecily Cardew or Plate number 5 or…

Gluten Free Strawberry Snacking Bread
We’ve partnered with Bob’s Red Mill (#sponsored) (one of the longest-standing and favorite gluten free flour/ingredient companies out there) for a few collabs, and this one hit home after so many carefully-planned cook-at-home meals over the past year: a new recipe that includes their brand new Grain Free Flat Bread mix! It’s a quick, easy, and perfectly scrumptious gluten free strawberry snacking bread! I recommend making these for brunch or an afternoon tea and snacking on a slice with a bunch of butter. Bob’s has helped us get through so many ridiculously tricky gluten free times – back in 2004 when NO ONE else was making gluten free products, Bob’s…

The Ultimate Gluten Free Funfetti Cake
This cake is the ULTIMATE celebration cake. Funfetti, brithday cake, anything and eVERYTHING with sprinkles, all wrapped into one ginormous, four-layer beauty complete with cream cheese buttercream, ube white chocolate whipped ganache, and strawberry whipped cream (because go big or go home). What’s the occasion? Not a birthday, as you might expect, but a massive milestone for us here at Sisters Sans Gluten. For anyone who follows us on Instagram, you’ll know we spend a TON of time on the platform and honestly, it’s become a go-to space for some of the best friendships, support, encouragement, and inspiration these past two years. When we first started, it involved a lot…

Gluten Free Strawberry Layer Cake with Cream Cheese Buttercream
There’s something about cream cheese frosting. For all of you lactose/dairy-free folk out there, I feel your pain – as a weird and twisted side effect of Celiac disease, I also lost the ability to digest lactose for years before and after diagnosis, so I’m quiiiiite familiar with the array of nut, rice, and soy mylks and cheeses out there, and Kendra, the younger taller sister of Sisters Sans Gluten, is still dairy free to this day! (she makes a mean dairy free cheesecake too). This cake, however, is definitely heavy on the dairy. Gotta love swoops of silky, slightly-tangy cream cheese buttercream wrapped around summery strawberry cake layers, billowy…
