Melt in your Mouth Strawberry Cloud Cake

Strawberry Cloud Cake

The Strawberry Cloud Cake is a no-bake, airy delight made with fluffy whipped cream, sweet strawberries, and soft layers of cake or graham crackers. It’s chilled until set, giving it a cloud-like texture and a refreshing fruity flavor — perfect for spring and summer gatherings!

Ingredients:

• 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

• ¼ cup sugar (adjust to taste)

• 1 teaspoon lemon juice

• 2 cups heavy whipping cream

• ½ cup powdered sugar

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1 package ladyfingers, pound cake slices, or graham crackers

• Optional garnish: more strawberries, mint leaves, or white chocolate shavings

Instructions:

1. Prepare the strawberries:

   • Toss sliced strawberries with granulated sugar and lemon juice.

   • Let sit for 15–20 minutes to macerate and release their juices.

2. Whip the cream:

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

3. Assemble the layers:

   • In a loaf pan or trifle dish, add a layer of cake (or crackers), then spread a generous layer of whipped cream.

   • Add a layer of strawberries (with some juices), then repeat layers until ingredients are used, ending with whipped cream.

4. Chill:

   • Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight to let the layers meld and set.

5. Serve:

   • Top with fresh strawberries and optional garnishes before slicing and serving.

Tips:

• Use stabilized whipped cream (add gelatin) if making ahead for events.

• For extra flavor, add a strawberry jam swirl or cream cheese to the whipped layer.

• Can be made in individual cups for a fancy presentation.
