Whipped Cream Cake

The whipped cream cake is a classic dessert widely appreciated for its simplicity and creaminess. Here is the recipe for making a delicious Italian whipped cream cake.

Ingredients

• 300 g of type 00 flour
• 250 ml of fresh cream for desserts
• 200 g of sugar
• 3 eggs
• 1 packet of baking powder
• 1 pinch of salt
• Grated zest of 1 lemon (optional for flavoring)
• Butter and flour for greasing and flouring the mold
• Powdered sugar for decorating (optional)

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C.
2. In a large bowl, whip the eggs with the sugar until you obtain a frothy and light mixture.
3. Add the grated lemon zest to give an aromatic touch to the dough.
4. Incorporate the fresh cream and continue to stir gently.
5. Mix in the sifted flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt, blending well all the ingredients without deflating the batter.
6. Butter and flour a cake mold, then pour the mixture into it.
7. Bake the whipped cream cake in the preheated oven and cook for about 35-40 minutes or until, by inserting a skewer into the center, it comes out clean.
8. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely before unmolding.
9. Once cool, you can dust the surface with powdered sugar for a final touch of sweetness and decor.

Curiosity

The cream used in this recipe gives the dough a unique softness and moisture, making the dessert especially appreciated on festive occasions or as a comforting snack. The whipped cream cake can also be adapted to become the base for a filled cake or decorated with fresh fruit, custard cream, or various icings.

I recommend serving this cake with a dusting of powdered sugar, but if you want to add a personal touch, you can accompany it with a warm chocolate sauce or a fruit coulis. Enjoy your meal!
