refine the recipe
As with any other recipe, the vanilla cream cake can be refined without baking as desired. Here are a few ideas how to make the cake even more delicious for hot days.
- For a little chocolate touch, you can add 1-2 tbsp cocoa powder to the base.
- Instead of vanilla pudding, use chocolate pudding and you have a no-bake chocolate cake.
- The no-bake vanilla cream cake tastes even more refreshing with some fresh strawberries or cherries.
- Or why not add chopped nuts to the filling?
