Easy strawberry and whipped cream cake

Scorrere verso il basso

In Italy the time for strawberries has arrived, which means that in my house this easy strawberry and whipped cream cake is constantly requested by a very insistent baby boy. This simple cake is my son’s favorite and I am happy to prepare it because it requires very little time, minimum effort but always guarantees a good result. The cake I use is not a classic soft cake but rather a dense vanilla sponge cake that is very easy and quick to prepare. Its consistency is more compact but that’s what my son prefers.

The cake itself is sweet but not too sweet. It has a delicate vanilla and lemon aftertaste. It is balanced thanks to the addition of fresh seasonal strawberries and Chantilly cream with vanilla and powdered sugar.

If you like a softer cake you can find on this site several proposals that could perfectly replace the type of cake chosen by me. Instead, if you also prefer more compact cakes filled with delicious whipped cream and sliced strawberries, keep reading this recipe. You can decorate this cake with fresh flowers from your garden or another type of fruit. It is perfect for a special occasion such as a birthday party or Mother’s Day.
