Make the EASY YOGURT CAKE using Vanilla Yogurt. Grease and flour or spray two 8 inch cake pans, and divide the batter evenly between them. Bake and let cool completely.
Remove ½ cup of whipping cream from the fridge and bring to room temperature, 45-60 minutes before using.
In a small pot add the cold water and sprinkle the gelatine on top, let sit for one minute, then heat just until the gelatine dissolves, remove from heat and let cool slightly. To the cooled gelatine add the room temperature whipping cream, stir to combine.
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 gelatine 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.
Notes
You could bake the yogurt cake in smaller cake pans or ramekins and then top with strawberries and whipped cream, although if you are looking for individual portions, I would just serve the strawberries with whipped cream over homemade biscuits, strawberry cupcakes or vanilla almond cupcakes. If you are planning to make and serve the day of, you can make this cake ahead of time. After assembling, store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 4 hours. The yogurt cake can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored at room temperature. You can also freeze the cake for up to 3 months. You can make the whipped cream up to 4 days in advance and store in the refrigerator. While you can freeze the cake on its own, I would not freeze the cake assembled. The texture will change upon thawing.
