    How to make a chocolate covered strawberries cake

    Baked with coconut flour this cake is fairly easy to make. I used just one 8-inch spring form cake tin and cut the sponge in half, purely to keep the carbs low. For a real show stopper of a cake, double up the sponge cake mixture and bake it in two cake tins.

    There are 5 steps to make this tasty cake:

    1. Bake the chocolate cake and cool.
    2. Mix the strawberries and cream filling.
    3. Melt the chocolate for both the ganache and chocolate dipped strawberries.
    4. Make the ganache for the cake topping.
    5. Dip the strawberries into the chocolate and place on top of the cake.

    Can I use almond flour?

    If you are not a fan of coconut flour, this recipe can be made with my chocolate almond flour cake. Just add the filling, chocolate ganache and strawberries for another delicious low carb dessert!

    Recipe Tips

    If the cake mixture appear too stiff after folding the egg whites in, add ¼ cup water.

    For extra strawberry flavour, add sliced strawberries to the cake layer before the cream.
