🍰 Ingredients You’ll Need:

For the Vanilla Cake Layers:

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

• 1 ½ tsp baking powder

• ½ tsp salt

• ½ cup unsalted butter (room temperature)

• ¾ cup sugar

• 3 large eggs

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• ½ cup milk

For the Filling and Frosting:

• 2 cups heavy whipping cream (chilled)

• 3 tbsp powdered sugar

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1 ½ cups fresh strawberries (sliced)

• ½ cup strawberry jam or strawberry syrup

For the Topping:

• Extra fresh strawberries (whole or halved)

• White chocolate shavings or curls

👩🏽‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Bake the Cake
Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and line two 8-inch round cake pans.
Cream the butter and sugar until light. Add eggs one by one, then vanilla.
Combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Alternate adding the dry mix and milk to the batter.
Divide into pans and bake for 25–30 minutes. Let cool completely.

2. Whip the Cream
Beat chilled heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Keep refrigerated.

3. Layer the Cake
Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a thin layer of strawberry jam or syrup, add a layer of whipped cream, then top with sliced strawberries.
Repeat with the second layer and frost the top and sides with whipped cream.

4. Decorate
Garnish with white chocolate curls and fresh strawberry halves on top. Chill the cake for at least 30 minutes before serving.

🍓 Tips & Variations:

• Add a few drops of strawberry essence to the whipped cream for more flavor

• Use strawberry compote instead of jam for a more rustic filling

• For extra sweetness, soak the cake layers in a light strawberry syrup before assembling

White Forest Cake with strawberry toppings is a delightful dessert that combines the elegance of classic European cakes with the fresh taste of summer fruit. It’s light enough for a garden party and beautiful enough for any celebration.
