Whipped Cream Berry Layer Cake

I was invited by The Dairy Farmers of Canada to participate in The Great Cream Challenge. This month was a seasonal fruits challenge.

Of course, there had to be whipped cream and in my mind lots of it!!! Layers of it!! Then I pictured a chocolate layer. I have never done anything with Nutella before and decided to try this!!

Oh, my amazing!!! That Nutella and whipped cream layer sealed it for a heavenly cake!!

I had the chocolate cake already in the freezer just waiting for a creative moment. I went to town on it, slicing it carefully and layering mountains of the fluffy delightful cloud-like cream and adding perfectly ripe berries.

The creation was this gorgeous cake. Looks hard to make, not at all. Looks hard to slice, nope again. You just have to have the courage of your convictions, as Julia Child said.

Many things that we are afraid of, just turn out great.

Look at all those layers of delicious whipped cream, Nutella, and berries!!! Your family or company will be in awe of this whipped cream berry layer cake dessert.

Don’t tell them it is super easy to make, they will never believe you!!

Bake up a cake the next time you think about it and have it at the ready in your freezer. It also slices better when it is still a bit frozen. You can have this dessert “whipped” up in no time.

1. To make the Nutella layer, bring the 2 cups of whipping cream to a boil.
2. Remove from heat and whisk Nutella in. Mix well. Let cool, then cover and refrigerate until very cold.
3. Place the bowl from a stand-up mixer in the freezer along with the whisk attachment to chill. Slice cakes in half with a cake slicer and set aside.

9. Top with the last cake round on and the last 1/3 of the whipped cream. Decorate with the 3 whole strawberries, berries, and fresh mint.
