Chocolate fudge cake and homemade strawberry whipped cream frosting with a big Snoopy holding a heart (look under his arm). Frosting recipe below.
The cake was from a mix, so nothing impressive there, but the frosting was delicious and I would absolutely make it again. Usually, I pick out all the buttercream frosting, but the whipped cream frosting was finger-lickin' good and so simple!
Strawberry Whipped Cream Frosting
1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 tablespoon (15 grams) granulated white sugar
1/2 cup (120 ml) lightly sweetened strawberry puree (I used preserves)
In a large mixing bowl place the whipping cream, vanilla extract, and sugar and stir to combine. Cover and chill the bowl and wire whisk in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
When chilled, beat the mixture until soft peaks form. Then add the sweetened strawberry puree a little at a time, and beat just until stiff peaks form when the beater is raised. Taste and fold in more sugar or puree, if required.
