Ingredients
Scale
Cake Mixes
- 1 box chocolate cake mix (plus ingredients required on the box)
- 1 box vanilla cake mix (plus ingredients required on the box)
- 1 box strawberry cake mix (plus ingredients required on the box)
Whipped Cream
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Toppings
- Fresh fruit (such as strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries)
- Chocolate chips
- Sprinkles
Instructions
- Bake the cakes: Prepare each cake mix separately according to the package directions, baking in sheet pans or 9×13-inch pans until fully cooked and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool and cube the cakes: Allow the cakes to cool completely at room temperature. Once cooled, cut each cake into 1-inch cubes, keeping the flavors separate.
- Prepare whipped cream: In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form, ensuring a light and fluffy texture.
- Layer the dessert: In individual bowls or jars, start by layering chocolate cake cubes, then add a layer of whipped cream, followed by vanilla cake cubes, more whipped cream, and finally a layer of strawberry cake cubes on top.
- Finish and garnish: Top each bowl with a final swirl of whipped cream and decorate with optional toppings such as fresh fruit, chocolate chips, or sprinkles for added flavor and visual appeal.
Notes
- Make sure cakes are completely cooled to prevent whipped cream from melting.
- You can prepare the cakes a day ahead and store them wrapped tightly in plastic wrap.
- For a lighter dessert, consider using reduced-fat whipped topping instead of heavy cream.
- Customize with different toppings based on seasonality and preference.
- This dessert is best served within a few hours of assembly to maintain cake texture and cream freshness.
