Never serve a boring strawberry again! Stuff it with fresh cream!

I wrote a blog about a Tres Leches Cake that I baked/made this past holiday. (Recipe below!😉) My guests not only loved the cake but they loved the whipped cream stuffed strawberry that decorated the cake. It wasn't only a pretty decorative element on the cake, but it was a tasty treat as well. Here's how to create it.

**1. Wash your strawberries and dry. Cut the head of the berry so that it has a flat and even surface. **

**2. Cut an "X" pattern on top of strawberry making sure that you don't cut through to bottom. **

**3. Use a piping bag filled with fresh whipped cream fitted with a star tip and fill the strawberry. **

**8. Spoon into the prepared baking pans and spread to even out the surface. **

9. Bake until the cake is done, 25 to 35 minutes depending on each oven. Allow the cakes to cool in the pan.

**10. Combine the heavy cream, evaporated milk and condensed milk in a container. **

**11. Turn out one of the cooled cakes on a rimmed platter. Pierce the surface of the cake with a fork several times. **

12. Drizzle the milk mixture over the top and allow the cake to sit to absorb the milk mixture for a few minutes. The point is to soak the cake. However since another layer of cake will need to go on top, try not to oversoak the cake. If you only have one layer of cake... soak away!

**13. Prepare the whipped cream icing. Whip the cream with the sugar until stiff peaks form. **

image

**14. Ice the first layer of cake. **

image

15. Add the second layer of cake and repeat steps 11 and 12.

16. Spread the rest of the icing over the top and sides of the cake. Use the fresh strawberries for colorful decoration. The strawberries adds a nice touch of acidity to the sweetness of the cake. However, this cake is not overly sweet... It's perfect!

OPTIONAL Use a piping bag for decorative cake border.

17. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Several hours is fine but overnight is better. The cooler the cake, the better!
