Happy Valentine's Day/Whipped Strawberry Cake

Updated: Mar 17, 2022

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! I want to express my love for today and every day for the people I love the most with food because food is my love language. I know most people don't like Valentine's day, but I like to think of it as spending time with people I love. It doesn't necessarily mean having a significant other. It can be a day for self-love care or showing you're love to others by doing a small gesture like giving them a call or telling them that you love and miss them.

1 made our first cake together with my son. He loves strawberries so what better cake to make than a Strawberry Cake. It was easy to follow this recipe I found online from Martha Stewart "strawberry cake" https://www.marthastewart.com/336020/strawberry-cake

but I' altered the recipe to my liking and added less sugar and more milk. I included whipped cream inside the cake and on the top and added fresh st. I added more cool whip cream in a zip lock bag and made my own piping and added the word "love" to fit the theme of the cake. I hope you enjoy the berry delicious cake as much as we did!

I did add whole milk and added one cup instead of half and next time I want to try a yogurt cake to make it a little healthier, but no one's counting today right?!


When I first told him to help me he was so excited! He was a great helper from washing the strawberries for me to helping me pour the ingredients into the mixer. The cake turned out to be just right. He couldn't wait and we ate it for breakfast along with his breakfast food. It wasn't too sweet and with the whipped cream we added gives it an extra love =) I hope your day is extra sweet today because you deserve it!!!
