🛒 Ingredients

A snapshot of all the sweet ingredients laid out on a kitchen counter: whipped topping, vanilla pudding mix, fresh strawberries, yogurt, and cheerful sugar decorations.

  • 1 store-bought sponge cake (2 layers)

  • 2 packs vanilla pudding powder

  • 600 ml milk

  • 500 ml sweetened plant-based whipped topping (like Hullala)

  • 1 pack unflavored gelatin (e.g., Horváth Rozi)

  • 3 cups plain yogurt

  • 250 g strawberries (for topping)

  • ~100 g strawberries (for the cream)

  • Sugar (to taste)

  • Gummy candies and decorative sugar pearls (for topping)

🔥 Instructions

1️⃣ Whip it good
Whip the plant-based cream (Hullala) until fluffy and firm. Set aside.

2️⃣ Make the strawberry yogurt cream
In a small saucepan, gently warm the yogurt with the gelatin until fully dissolved.
Stir in 100 g finely chopped strawberries and sweeten to taste.
Fold in half of the whipped cream. Set aside to cool slightly.

3️⃣ Cook the custard
Prepare vanilla pudding as directed using 600 ml milk and sugar to taste.
Let it cool until just warm.

4️⃣ Assemble the cake
Slice the sponge cake in half (if not pre-sliced).
Spread the vanilla pudding cream over the bottom layer.
Place the top layer back on, then spread the strawberry yogurt cream evenly on top.

5️⃣ Frost & decorate
Use the remaining whipped cream to frost the top and sides.
Decorate with fresh strawberries—some whole, some halved—then scatter gummy candies and sugar pearls for a playful, festive finish!

🍽️ What to Serve It With

  • A glass of sparkling wine 🍾

  • Fresh lemonade 🍋
