Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1 cup unsweetened plant-based milk
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pound strawberries sliced
  • 1 cup plant-based whipped cream or homemade coconut whipped cream

Instructions

  • To prepare, preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease the pan (with vegan butter or vegetable oil). Put your stand mixer bowl in the freezer. 
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, 2 tablespoons of sugar, sea salt and cardamom until combined. Add the almond milk, coconut oil, and vanilla, and stir until well combined. The dough will be thick and sticky. 
  • Divide the dough into 6 pieces and drop them onto the cookie sheet. Bake for 30 minutes, or until they are a light golden brown remove them from the oven and let them cool. 
  • In a medium bowl, stir the strawberries and 1 tablespoon of sugar together until combined. Let it stand for 30 minutes so the strawberries can macerate. 
  • Slice the shortcake in half and spread some of the coconut cream on the bottom. Add a layer of strawberries, a dollop of cream on the strawberries, the top of the shortbread over the berries and cream, and add one more dollop of coconut cream.
