Instructions

1. Prepare Cake Layers:

  • Divide batter evenly between pans and bake 20–25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely.

2. Make Whipped Cream Frosting:

  • In a chilled bowl, beat heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form.

3. Assemble Cake:

  • Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of whipped cream and top with sliced strawberries.
  • Place the second cake layer on top. Frost the top and sides with whipped cream.
  • Decorate with whole or halved strawberries for a cute, fresh look.

4. Chill & Serve:

  • Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to set the cream. Slice and enjoy!

Tips for the Cutest Strawberry Cream Cake

  • Optional decoration: Add edible flowers or mint leaves for extra cuteness.

Variations

  • Strawberry Jam Filling: Brush a thin layer of strawberry jam on cake layers for extra sweetness.
  • Chocolate Twist: Add chocolate shavings or drizzle on top.
  • Mini Cake Version: Make a cute single-layer mini cake for individual servings.
  • Vegan Option: Use plant-based cream and egg substitutes.
