Whipped Cream Heart Cake

The Whipped Cream Heart Cake is a sophisticated and delicious dessert, perfect for a romantic occasion or celebrating a special event. Here is the recipe for preparing this sweet indulgence.

Ingredients

• 300 g of type 00 flour
• 200 g of sugar
• 4 eggs
• 100 ml of seed oil
• 100 ml of water
• 1 packet of baking powder
• 1 packet of vanillin
• 500 ml of fresh cream to whip
• Powdered sugar to taste (for decoration)
• Fresh fruit for decoration (such as strawberries or berries)

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C.
2. In a large bowl, whip the eggs with the sugar until the mixture is swollen and frothy.
3. Add the seed oil and water, and continue mixing.
4. Incorporate the sifted flour with the baking powder and vanillin, mixing with gentle movements from the bottom up so as not to deflate the mixture.
5. Pour the batter into a previously buttered and floured heart-shaped cake tin.
6. Bake for about 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
7. Take the cake out of the oven and let it cool completely.
8. In the meantime, whip the cream, which should be very cold, until it is firm and frothy.
9. When the cake is cold, cut it horizontally to create two layers.
10. Fill with the whipped cream and overlap the other layer of cake.
11. Decorate the rest of the cake with whipped cream using a pastry bag, unleashing your creativity.
12. Finish with powdered sugar and fresh fruit to taste.

Curiosity

This cake is often associated with Valentine’s Day celebrations due to its heart shape, but it is also perfect for anniversaries and birthdays thanks to its versatility and the delicate flavor that pairs well with different types of fruit and decorations.

Remember to put the cream in the fridge several hours before using it, so that it is very cold and whips up easily. If you desire an even more indulgent note, you can add grated chocolate between the layers of cream.
