Fresh strawberry whipped cream cake
Cakes
The sweet memories of Mom's Strawberry Whipped Cream Cake was the highlight of family gatherings from years gone by. She used a Duncan Hines cake mix and simply topped the layers with fresh strawberries and whipped cream. It really made a beautiful presentation at the table. Here is my kicked up version with fresh strawberries dipped in white chocolate, layers of buttery buttermilk 1234 yellow cake painted with red raspberry jam and then topped with sliced fresh strawberries. The whole cake is frosted with fresh whipped cream flavored with vanilla. This is a special occasion cake that will make memories in your family. <br />COOKS NOTES: Read the recipe through to understand the steps and ingredients. Have all the ingredients ready before starting to mix and assemble this cake. Good quality ingredients are important when baking. Here are my suggestions for ingredients. Use Land O Lakes, Cabot or Plugra butter or any high butterfat content brand; no store brands as they have high water content and poor butter taste. Use Lindt Classic Recipe White Chocolate or Godiva Vanilla Bean; most brands are artificial tasting and will ruin this dessert with offending flavor. Use good quality vanilla extract; preferably Nielsen Massey Bourbon. Use Dickenson's Seedless Red Raspberry Preserves as it has great flavor and no annoying seeds. Select fresh strawberries that are firm but SMELL sweet when you open the box. Inspect the berries before buying. All your dairy ingredients should be at room temperature before starting this recipe. You can dip the strawberries in melted white chocolate a few hours ahead to firm up in the refrigerator. Make the filling right before putting the cake together as sliced strawberries will begin to soften and become watery if mixed too far ahead. Use a small metal spatula to apply the whipped cream being careful not to get any preserves into the whipped cream. Refrigeration is a must! This cake tastes best served right from the refrigerator the day it is made. Happy memories!
