- Prepare the Cake Base:
- If you’re using a pre-made cake, place it on a serving plate. Alternatively, you can bake a sponge cake according to your preferred recipe.
- Spread Strawberry Jam:
- Spread a generous layer of strawberry jam over the top of the cake. Ensure an even distribution, reaching the edges.
- Whip the Cream:
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract and continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
- Cover with Whipped Cream:
- Spread the whipped cream over the layer of jam, covering the entire surface of the cake.
- Decorate with Strawberries:
- Wash and hull the fresh strawberries. Slice them and arrange the slices on top of the whipped cream.
- Chill Before Serving:
- Place the cake in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the cream to set.
- Serve:
- Once chilled, slice and serve your Strawberry Cream Jam Cake.
- Optional: Garnish:
- Garnish with additional whole strawberries or a sprinkle of powdered sugar before serving if desired.
This dessert combines the sweetness of strawberry jam, the richness of whipped cream, and the freshness of strawberries for a delightful treat. It’s perfect for special occasions or as a refreshing summertime dessert.
