Clotted cream
Whipping cream is often an essential ingredient for cake fillings and can be combined with other ingredients such as milk, eggs, caster sugar, and even chocolate to add more texture and taste to the cake. However there are many other cake fillings that do not contain whipping cream. This includes butter icing and cream cheese filling, as well as fruit compotes made from berries, summer fruits and tropical fruits.
When whipping cream, it's obviously much easier and faster if you have an electric beater to hand. However, if you don't then fear not, it is still possible to whisk cream using utensils such as a wire whisk and even a fork – although it may take a little longer. The important thing is to make sure you whisk as much air into the cream with every circular motion. It's even possible to whip cream by pouring it into a large, sealed container and shaking for several minutes.
Generally, whipped cream can retain its structure and taste for about 2-3 days if stored in a refrigerator, preferably in an air-tight container. The longer the cream is exposed to room temperature, the quicker it can spoil so be sure to place your cake in the refrigerator as soon as you have finished serving. If it begins to smell sour, harden or look yellow in color, it's best to discard the cream and whip up a new batch!
This cake recipe can be adapted to whatever tickles your taste buds. Whether you prefer tropical fruits such as mango or passion fruit, or the rich indulgence of chocolate or hazelnut spread – this recipe provides an ideal foundation for your next culinary creation.
When it comes to creating a delicious cake, there's as much taste in the presentation as there is in the bite. Simply by adding a drop of food colouring to your whipped cream, together with a rich color palette of seasonal and frozen fruits, you can really let your imagination run free and bring your cake to life. Top off your creation with a dash of crushed nuts, sprinkles, cacao or icing sugar for that extra irresistible touch.
