Whipped Cream Layer Cake(Blotkake)
A light and fluffy whipped cream layer cake featuring tender baked layers, perfect for celebrations or casual gatherings, complemented by fresh fruit and whipped topping for added flavor.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix flour, baking powder, and butter until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat eggs; then add sugar and beat until combined.
- Combine the flour mixture with the egg mixture and beat well. Knead the dough and divide into 9 equal portions.
- Roll each portion into a round, plate-sized piece.
- Bake each on a greased cookie sheet at 350°F (175°C) for 10 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned.
- Assemble the cake by layering the baked pieces with vanilla pudding, whipped topping, and fruit fillings such as jam, sliced strawberries, peaches, bananas, or pineapple chunks.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, consider using cake flour instead of all-purpose flour. You can substitute the whipped topping with homemade whipped cream for a fresher taste. If you're short on time, store-bought jam works well, but opt for fruit preserves for more texture. Consider adding a splash of vanilla extract to the batter for enhanced flavor.
Serving Suggestions
This cake is perfect for celebrations and can be served as a light dessert after a meal. It pairs beautifully with fresh fruit or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Consider serving it alongside a refreshing fruit salad or with a drizzle of chocolate sauce for added indulgence. For a twist, try pairing it with the Diet German Chocolate Cake for a delightful dessert spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If the layers are separated, wrap them individually in plastic wrap to keep them fresh. Avoid freezing the assembled cake, as the whipped topping may become watery upon thawing. Reassemble and serve chilled for the best taste.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the cake layers ahead of time?
Yes, you can bake the layers a day in advance. Allow them to cool completely, then store them in an airtight container at room temperature. Just be sure to assemble the cake with whipped topping and fillings on the day you plan to serve it for the best texture.
What can I use instead of vanilla pudding?
If you don't have vanilla pudding, you can substitute it with a similar flavor, such as butterscotch or custard. Alternatively, you can make a simple pastry cream using milk, sugar, eggs, and cornstarch, which will provide a comparable creamy texture.
How can I make this cake more festive?
To make the cake more festive, consider adding colorful sprinkles or edible glitter on top of the whipped topping. You can also layer it with seasonal fruits like berries or peaches for a vibrant look. Serving with a side of Kahlua Caramel French Toast can create an exciting dessert duo!
