Yesterday was the Italian’s birthday and I was determined to change it up this year. After over 2o years of Tiramisu my youngest daughter and I decided we were doing it our way.

I decided to make a simple Vanilla Yogurt Cake and to fill it with whipped cream and fruit. My youngest daughter decided strawberries were best and yes we found fresh ones in the grocery store. Not too ripe but fresh!

I also decided to make a stiffer whipped cream, because I wanted it to hold up for a couple of days.

My eldest daughter called in the morning to wish her father happy birthday and was not too pleased we were making her favourite cake.

She decided her welcome home meal in March would consist of Lasagna and this Strawberry Whipped Cream Vanilla Yogurt Cake.

I loved the idea of dipping the strawberries in dark chocolate and because the whipped cream is stabilized they don’t sink to the bottom.

And drizzling the Yogurt Cake using some melted chocolate and a fork is my new favourite it-looks-like-you-went-to-so-much trouble decorating tip. Which I discovered on You Tube from Mel’s Kitchen Cafe.

Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 Easy Yogurt Cake Recipe

STABILIZED WHIPPED CREAM FILLING

  • 2 teaspoons gelatin
  • 8 teaspoons cold water
  • 2½ cups whipping cream (divided)
  • 1 tablespoon icing / powdered sugar
  • ½-1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 10-15 ripe but firm strawberries (cleaned and sliced)

  • In a large bowl add the remaining whipping cream,powdered sugar and vanilla, beat one minute or until it starts to thicken. Continue beating while slowly adding the gelatin mixture, continue beating until you have stiff peaks.  
  • Place one of the cakes on a plate and top with a third of the whipped cream filling, place sliced strawberries on top, spread with a third of the whipped cream filling on top of the strawberries, then place the remaining cake on top of the filling, cover with the remaining whipped cream filling.
  • Top the cake with chocolate dipped strawberries and drizzle with remaining chocolate.  Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving. Enjoy!

TOPPING

  • Melt the chocolate either bain-marie or in a microwave, stirring until smooth and melted.  Let cool slightly. Dip whole strawberries in chocolate place on parchment paper and let dry. Use remaining chocolate for drizzle.

    Hahaha I’m the worst decorator ever too! In fact I don’t even try anymore. Naked cakes anyone? And that cake is so beautiful.

  2. This is such a beautiful cake. I’m a fan of decorating simply with fresh fruit and a chocolate drizzle, so I think this looks just exquisite. Happy belated birthday to your husband!

    What a beautiful yet simple cake. I really want to start making more cakes and desserts… but I’m usually the one who ends up eating it all. lol

  4. Me and my daughter are not too big on frosting. Your simple vanilla yogurt cake looks promising. And that tip with fork… I’m so trashing my spoon 🙂
