Notes

A dollop of freshly whipped cream improves almost any cake, from a simple pound cake to an intensely flavored flourless chocolate cake, and takes minutes to make.

Ingredients

  • 1½ cups (360 ml) heavy cream
  • 3 tablespoons (0.7 oz/21 g) confectioners sugar, sifted
  • 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

1. In the chilled bowl of an electric mixer, using the whisk attachment, whip the cream at high speed just until it begins to thicken. Add the sugar and vanilla and beat until soft peaks form. Use immediately, or cover and refrigerate.
