Whipping Cream Cake is a 6 ingredient vintage dessert that is so simple yet so delicious! It quickly became another internet sensation recipe after being shared on Reddit - everyone loves its dense pound cake-like consistency!

Ingredients  


Instructions

  • Generously grease a 12-cup bundt pan with the shortening then add 1/4 cup of flour to the pan and cover with plastic wrap. Turn and shake the pan to coat the inside with flour. Discard any excess flour.
  • In a large bowl or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together the softened butter and sugar until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. The mixture will be more stiff than smooth.
  • Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition just until the yolk is no longer visible.
  • In low speed (stir on a stand mixer), add the remaining flour 1 cup at a time, alternating with the whipping cream, beginning and ending with the flour. Add in the vanilla and mix until silky smooth.
  • Transfer the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth out the top.
  • Bake for 75 to 90 minutes at 325°F (DO NOT PREHEAT OVEN) or until a cake tester or toothpick comes clean from the center.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for 30 minutes before flipping out onto a cake stand, wire rack, or plate and allowing to cool completely. You can use a small rubber spatula to help loosen the sides, if needed.
  • Serve with fresh homemade whipped cream and berries.

Notes

  • Store covered at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • This cake freezes amazingly well! Allow the cake to cool completely then wrap in plastic wrap then in aluminum foil and freeze for up to 3 months. Let thaw at room temperature.
  • You do not want to preheat the oven because starting in a cold oven will ensure a more even bake.
  • I have tested this recipe in a 10-cup bundt bant and while it fit, the top of the bundt got quite crunchy before the center was fully baked which took about 1 hour and 45 minutes.
  • Usually, in baked goods, you use unsalted butter, but it's very important that you use salted in this one since there's no added salt in the recipe.
  • You can use heavy cream in place of heavy whipping cream in this recipe.
  • You don't want to whip at high speed once the cream has been added because you don't want it to start whipping.
  • If you don't have a bundt pan, you can divide the batter between two loaf pans. Check for doneness around 50 minutes.
