This Gluten and Sugar-Free Coconut Cake with Berries screams summer! It is dense, super moist, piled with dairy-free cream and berries and so delish it is virtually impossible to have just one piece! Well, there is no need to feel too guilty because this yummy summer cake is Gluten and Sugar-Free.

It’s Day 3 of my 24 Days of Christmas and today, were baking!

The mixture is a combination of almond and coconut flours, which gives the cake a rich coconutty flavour and the sweetness comes from the addition of Freesweet, a new sugar-free alternative.

The Sugar Replacement has a 1:1 ratio, so there is no need to guess how much to add to bake successfully.

I have previously created some other recipes with Freesweet on the blog, including:

How to Make Gluten-Free Cocoa Pops

Gluten & Sugar-Free Churros Sticks

I have not had any issues baking with Freesweet so far, and this is my 4th recipe whereby I replaced sugar for Freesweet. Try it out this holiday and let me know what you think?

Making the Gluten and Sugar-Free Coconut Cake with Berries

This recipe creates an easy one-layer cake, but if you double the mixture, you can easily create a layered cake.

When you add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix, do not panic, although the mix may look too thick to be cake batter, I promise it will work.😁

Another tip, let the cake cool in the pan for an hour before topping with cream, or the cream will just go runny.

I used dairy-free whipping cream, but you could also use coconut cream or dairy cream if you prefer. If you’ve got the energy, a chocolate ganache would also do the trick.

Finally, I topped with pomegranate, strawberries and blueberries, but you could use any berries that are available to you.

Enjoy baking this Gluten and Sugar-Free Coconut Cake with Berries.
