Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup sponge cake or pound cake, cut into 1-inch squares
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar (optional)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
1. Wash strawberries thoroughly under cool water. Remove stems and slice into thin pieces.
2. Pour heavy whipping cream into mixing bowl. Beat with electric mixer until soft peaks form (about 3-4 minutes). Add powdered sugar and vanilla if using.
3. Cut cake into 1-inch cubes using sharp knife.
4. Place one cake cube on serving platter. Top with dollop of whipped cream, then add 2-3 strawberry slices.
5. Refrigerate assembled bites for 30 minutes to set cream and meld flavors.
Notes
- Chill mixing bowl and beaters 15 minutes before whipping cream for fluffier texture.
- Fresh strawberries work best—frozen berries release too much water.
- Assemble only 30 minutes before serving to prevent soggy cake.
- Store components separately up to 24 hours ahead for easy assembly.
