Ladyfinger Cake!

1. Prepare the Whipped Cream:

• In a large mixing bowl, pour the heavy cream and beat it with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until it starts to thicken.

• Once it begins to thicken, add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then continue beating until soft peaks form (about 3-4 minutes).

2. Layer the Ladyfingers:

• Arrange the ladyfingers in a single layer at the bottom of your serving dish or cake pan. If you prefer, you can cut the ladyfingers to fit the dish more neatly.

• Lightly dip each ladyfinger into coffee, milk, or fruit juice (optional), but do not soak them. This will add flavor and moisture to the cake.

3. Layer with Whipped Cream:

• Spread a generous layer of the freshly made whipped cream over the ladyfingers.

4. Repeat the Layers:

• Repeat the layering process, alternating between ladyfingers and whipped cream, until you run out of ingredients. Be sure to finish with a layer of whipped cream on top.

5. Chill the Cake:

• Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the cake to set.

6. Decorate and Serve:

• Before serving, top the cake with fresh berries, fruit, or a dusting of cocoa powder or chocolate shavings.

• Slice and serve chilled.

Tips:

• Coffee or Liqueur Soak: For an adult version of this dessert, you can dip the ladyfingers in coffee or a flavored liqueur (like amaretto or Kahlúa) instead of milk or juice.

• Add Layers: You can also add layers of fruit or jam in between the whipped cream layers for extra flavor and texture.

• Make It a Tiramisu: If you’d like to give it a classic tiramisu twist, you can add mascarpone cheese to the whipped cream mixture and layer with cocoa powder.

This Ladyfinger Cake is a simple yet elegant dessert that’s perfect for any gathering. It’s light, flavorful, and a crowd-pleaser every time! Enjoy!
