WHIPPED CREAM FROSTING
Whipped cream is a light and simple option for frosting cakes and cupcakes, especially when paired with fresh fruit. The trick is making sure it doesn't get too soft before it's served. Some cooks mix in cream of tartar, which can add a sour note. We prefer powdered milk. It helps create a frosting that's stable enough for piping and layering without affecting the taste

Steps:
- Place a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer in the freezer until cold, about 5 minutes. Alternatively, fill the bowl with ice water and let stand for 5 minutes. Pour out the ice water and quickly wipe the bowl dry.
- Sift the sugar and powdered milk into the chilled bowl, then add the cold cream and vanilla. Whip the mixture on high speed until stiff, but smooth peaks form, about 2 minutes. If you accidentally overwhip, the peaks will look like they are cracking. Add about a tablespoon more heavy cream and hand whip the frosting until it smooths out.
- The recipe makes enough frosting to generously top 24 cupcakes or to cover two 8-inch-round cakes, plus extra to pipe decorations. Unrefrigerated, the frosting will hold its shape for up to 6 hours.

Steps:
- For the cake:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F. Liberally prepare 3 9-inch round cake pans with the nonstick method of your choice.
- In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, add the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt and mix on low speed. Slowly add the oil and buttermilk.
- Increase the speed to medium-low and add the eggs 1 at a time, combining well after each addition and scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. Slowly add the coffee, vanilla extract, vinegar, and food coloring. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl and mix the batter until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Evenly pour the batter into the prepared pans and bake for 20 to 27 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a layer comes out clean. Do not overbake.
- Let the layers cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then invert onto wire racks. Let cool to room temperature. Lightly cover the cakes with foil or plastic wrap so they do not dry out.
- For the blackberry compote:
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, warm the blackberries, granulated sugar, lime juice, and salt. Once the blackberries begin releasing their juices and the liquid begins to boil, after about 8 to 12 minutes, use a pastry cutter or fork to mash 1/2 of the berries. Leave the rest whole.
- Stir in the cornstarch and continue to cook at a boil, allowing the juices to cook down and thicken. The compote is ready when the liquid coats and completely sticks to the back of a spoon. Remove from the heat. Let cool to room temperature.
- For the frosting:
- Clean your stand mixer bowl and whisk attachment. Beat the cream cheese on high speed until it begins to thicken and become fluffy.
- Turn your mixer down to low speed and carefully add the confectioners' sugar. Once the sugar is fully incorporated, turn your mixer speed back up and continue whipping. Add the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt. Continue to whip until the frosting is smooth, light, and fluffy. Refrigerate the buttercream for 30 minutes to firm it up.
- To assemble:
- Once the layers are completely cooled, place 1 layer on a serving plate. Spread just the top with ⅓ of the frosting. Add ⅓ of the compote over the frosting. Using a butter knife or skewer, swirl the compote into the frosting. Add the second layer and spread with another ⅓ of the frosting. Add ⅓ of the compote, swirling the compote into the frosting again. Add the final layer, bottom-side up, and top with the remaining frosting. Add the rest of the compote and repeat the swirling process. Do not frost the side of the cake. Garnish with the whole blackberries. Serve at room temperature. Store in the refrigerator.

STRAWBERRY CUPCAKES WITH WHIPPED CREAM FROSTING
Fresh strawberries are full of water, so they have a tendency to weigh down cake batters and make soggy cakes. That's why these strawberry cupcakes rely on strawberry jam or preserves. The concentrated flavor is just right for light and tender cupcakes. -Lisa Kaminski, Wauwatosa, Wisconsin

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350. Grease and flour an 8" springform pan.
- Peel, core, and cut pineapple into 1/2" pieces. You need 2 cups.
- In a blender or food processor, puree a third of the pineapple to make 1/2 cup puree, then add water to measure 2/3 cup. The remaining pineapple pieces will be used when assembling the cake.

- Heat pineapple puree and butter until butter melts; Add to batter. Pour batter into prepared pan.

Tips:
- Use heavy cream: For a rich, creamy frosting, use heavy cream with at least 36% fat content.
- Chill your ingredients: Before whipping the cream, chill the cream, bowl, and beaters for at least 30 minutes. Chilling the ingredients helps the cream whip up faster and hold its shape better.
- Whip the cream gradually: Start whipping the cream on low speed and gradually increase the speed as the cream begins to thicken. This helps prevent the cream from over-whipping and becoming grainy.
- Don't over-whip the cream: Once the cream has reached stiff peaks, stop whipping. Over-whipping can cause the cream to curdle and become grainy.
- Add flavorings and mix-ins: Once the cream has been whipped, you can add flavorings such as vanilla extract, cocoa powder, or fruit purees. You can also add mix-ins such as chopped nuts, sprinkles, or chocolate chips.
- Use the frosting immediately: Whipped cream frosting is best used immediately. If you need to store it, keep it refrigerated for up to 24 hours. When you're ready to use it, let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before using.
Conclusion:
Whipped cream frosting is a versatile and delicious frosting that can be used on a variety of desserts. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking with different flavorings and mix-ins. With these tips, you can make the perfect whipped cream frosting every time.
