Transform your leftover cake and strawberries into an elegant and delightful dessert with this Strawberry Cake Parfait recipe. It's a perfect way to repurpose your cake and create a visually stunning and delicious treat.
Ingredients
🍰 Leftover cake, cut into small squares
🍓 2 cups strawberries, chopped
🍬 2 tablespoons sugar
🍶 1 cup frosting (any flavor of your choice)
🥄 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
1- Prepare the Strawberries:
- In a small bowl, combine the chopped strawberries with 2 tablespoons of sugar. Stir gently to coat the strawberries evenly with sugar.
- Let them sit for about 10 minutes. This will allow the strawberries to release their juices and become slightly syrupy.
2- Assemble the Parfaits:
- In a glass or small dessert cup, start by placing a layer of cake squares at the bottom.
- Add a spoonful of the strawberry mixture over the cake.
- Add a layer of frosting. For a smoother texture, mix the frosting with a teaspoon of vanilla extract if you wish.
- Repeat the layers until you reach the top of the glass, finishing with a layer of frosting topped with strawberries for garnish.
3- Chill and Serve:
- Once assembled, chill the parfaits in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve chilled and enjoy your delicious creation!
