Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Cake
  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs Ensure they are at room temperature
For the Frosting
  • 1 cup heavy cream Ensure it is at room temperature
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Topping
  • as needed Fresh fruits (like strawberries or blueberries) For decoration

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Use a hand mixer to blend on medium speed until smooth, about 2 minutes.
  3. Pour the batter evenly into two greased 9-inch round cake pans.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  2. Remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool in pans for 10 minutes.
  3. Then, turn them out onto wire racks to cool completely.
Frosting and Assembly
  1. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
  2. Once the cakes are completely cooled, place one layer on a serving plate and spread a generous amount of the whipped cream on top, followed by the second layer.
  3. Spread the remaining whipped cream over the top of the cake.
  4. Decorate with fresh fruits for added flavor and presentation.
  5. Refrigerate for an hour to set, then slice and enjoy.

Notes

To enhance flavor, experiment with adding lemon zest or almond extract to the whipped cream. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
