Strawberry cake is a favorite dish for many people because it is both beautiful and delicious. Let’s take a look and cook this super simple no-bake strawberry cake to give to your loved one on this Valentine’s Day.
Ingredients for No-Bake Strawberry Cake For 3 people
Strawberries 450 gr Whipping cream 2 cups Fresh milk 3 cups Ladyfinger cake 30 g (or butter cookies) Cream cheese 1 cup Powdered sugar 1/2 cup Strawberry syrup 1/2 cup Vanilla extract 1 teaspoon
Tips for Choosing Good Strawberries
- Choose strawberries that have a characteristic aroma; avoid those with an overly strong smell as they may have been grown with chemicals.
- Choose bright red and shiny strawberries; those that are dark red may have artificial coloring added. Additionally, do not buy strawberries with green spots as they are picked unripe and will taste sour.
- Pay attention to any unusual signs on the strawberries; if black spots appear, it means they are starting to rot.
- Choose strawberries that still have their stems and green calyx intact. If the leaves are dry or yellow, it means those strawberries have been on the shelf for a few days. If there is a gap between the leaves at the stem and the strawberry, it may be sweeter.
- Choose strawberries with seeds spaced further apart, as they are likely to be sweeter.
How to make Strawberry Cake without baking
-
Make the cake
Whisk together 1 cup of cream and 3 cups of fresh milk, then set aside. Prepare a large cake mold, layer ladyfinger biscuits (or butter cookies) in it, drizzle with strawberry juice and soak the biscuits until they soften. Then, spread the cream and milk mixture over the layer of biscuits.

Make the cream
Place a large glass bowl in the freezer for at least 10 minutes to chill. Remove the bowl from the freezer, add whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract, and use a whisk to beat it until fluffy. Beat until the cream forms stiff peaks that hold onto the whisk.

Finish
Wash the strawberries and slice them thinly. Layer a layer of strawberries on top of the cake you made earlier, continue to spread a layer of cream over the strawberries, and sprinkle more strawberries on top of the cream to complete the strawberry cake.

Final Product
The strawberry cream cake features a layer of soft cookie, interleaved with rich, smooth cream, and a layer of tart strawberries that blend together to stimulate the taste buds.
Cake Decoration
You can use strawberries to decorate the cake in various ways, depending on your preference, not just the slicing style shown above to make the cake look more appealing.
Method 1: Carving strawberries into plump red flowers
With just a fruit carving knife or a sharp knife, you can create plump red strawberry flowers like this. Stick them on a skewer and place them on top of the cake or arrange them on the surface of the cake, and you’ll have a perfect “piece of art”.
Method 2: Dipping strawberries in melted chocolate
Let them dry and then decorate the cake, which will surely drive chocolate “fans” crazy. The sweet aroma of chocolate blends with the light sour and fresh taste of strawberries for a wonderful combination.
How to store the cake
At normal temperature, the cake is best enjoyed and retains its flavor for 2-5 hours. Therefore, if you have leftover cake, to keep it longer, you should wrap the cake in plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator; the cake will last for about 2 days.
In addition, you also need to be careful not to place the cake together with other foods that have strong odors like meat or fish. Because cakes can easily absorb smells, making them less enjoyable to eat.
