Wheatless Strawberry Cake

Fully iced, three-layer wheatless strawberry cake with lactose free frosting

This year, my O-Week group includes a student who is  lactose intolerant and requires gluten free foods.  Our O-Week dinner was a snap, thanks to Tejano Salsa’s Tamales.  If you call in advance, they can make all their tamales gluten-free.  But how to incorporate no-dairy and no-wheat into our monthly lunches?  Fortunately, this old recipe from my mom lends itself to gluten free with a few minor adjustments and the frosting was already gluten free and dairy free.  Enjoy this new recipe!  We are pairing it with Russian Cream and Raspberries for a double delicious holiday dessert feast.
