Watermelon Cake

Watermelon Cake: Juicy watermelon “cake”  topped with sweetened whipped cream and tart berries.

When it comes to holiday desserts my family is always “too full” after a big meal for whatever crazy, fabulous dessert I’ve made.

Personally, I always have room for dessert so this concept is a bit foreign to me!

However, I can usually talk them into something “light” like Angel Food Cake or Jello (lol!). However, those are kind of boring/repetitive. I decided to try something different.

This watermelon cake recipe is cool, creamy, and refreshing. It also looks beautiful enough to double as a centerpiece!

Instructions

• Cut the ends off of your watermelon with a very sharp knife. Set aside.
• Set the cake upright. Cut off all of the green rind and white pith. Gradually cut off the longer sides until it resembles a circle.
• Use a chilled bowl and beats to whip your cream until it begins to thicken. Add vanilla. Gradually add sugar a little at a time. Continue mixing until it forms soft peaks.
• Blot watermelon with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. Spread whipped cream onto the melon cake using an offset spatula. Top with berries if desired.
• Store in the refrigerator.
