Hey party people!
Are you getting excited for the 4th of July this weekend? The fireworks, watermelon, cookouts, pool, lake, sun-kissed face, the cute 4th of July tank tops, and Gluten Free Pound Cake with Vodka Strawberry Sauce…
It’s not your momma’s strawberry shortcake, that’s for sure, but one you should add to your 4th of July menu.
This is a GLUTEN FREE POUND CAKE topped with VODKA STRAWBERRY SAUCE. The gluten free pound cake is actually really easy to make because you use a cake mix. It comes out so dense and flavorful!
The strawberry sauce is what makes this, though. You can make it without the vodka and it will still taste delicious. The vodka just brings out the flavors more.
[yumprint-recipe id=’9′] Since this is a gluten free recipe, you will need to be selective on what kind of vodka you use. Here’s a list of gluten free vodkas. These vodkas are potato, corn, or grape seed based.
Regarding budget, this dessert is mainly on the low end – about $1/person, if you already have the staples. The vodka is what can add to this dessert. If you want to save money on that end, ask about the sample bottles at a liquor store. You can usually get them for a couple of dollars. This recipe only calls for 2oz, so you don’t need much.
Top your dessert with whipped cream or ice cream and it is ready to serve!

Enjoy your 4th & party on!
