Ingredients
  

For the Cake Layers
  • 2 cups Graham Crackers Substitute with gluten-free graham crackers for a gluten-free option.
  • 4 cups Fresh Strawberries Opt for ripe berries for the best taste.
For the Whipped Cream
  • 2 cups Heavy Cream (36% fat content) Use a vegan heavy cream alternative for a dairy-free version.
  • 1 cup Mascarpone (41% fat content) Substitute with cream cheese for a lighter option but adjust sweetness.
  • 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar Use sugar alternatives that can be powdered if unavailable.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Adjust quantity as preferred for flavor enhancement.

Equipment

  • 11x6 inch loaf pan
  • Electric Mixer
  • Mixing Bowl

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Wash and slice fresh strawberries evenly, setting aside about 2 cups for layering.
  2. Line the 11x6 inch loaf pan with aluminum foil or cling film to ensure easy removal later.
  3. In a chilled mixing bowl, combine heavy cream and mascarpone. Sift in powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Whip for about 2-3 minutes until soft peaks form.
  4. Spread about ¼ of the whipped cream at the bottom of the pan, add a layer of graham crackers using ¼ of your total supply, and then add ⅓ of the sliced strawberries. Repeat until finished with a final layer of graham crackers.
  5. Cover the assembled cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  6. Place the chilled cake in the freezer for about 30 minutes before inverting.
  7. Invert the cake onto a serving plate, remove the lining, and decorate with remaining whipped cream and fresh strawberries.
