No-Bake Strawberry Cake - A Classic from My Childhood

Step-by-step method

Let’s cook

At a glance

This no-bake strawberry cake comes together quickly—you're mainly layering whipped cream, sponge fingers, and fresh strawberries—but the magic happens overnight in the fridge when all the flavors meld beautifully. The whole process takes less than 10 minutes of hands-on work before the cake needs to rest for 24 hours, making it perfect for planning ahead during summer.

  1. 1/5

    Whip the cream

    Put the soured cream and whipping cream into a bowl, add your sweetener of choice - either caster sugar or agave syrup - along with the vanilla extract. Whisk for about three minutes.

  2. 2/5

    Line the tin

    Get a springform cake tin ready. Line the sides with either a strip of baking paper or a cake collar (acetate sheet).

  3. 3/5

    Layer it up

    Arrange the sponge fingers over the base of the tin, rounded side up. Spread a third of the cream over the sponge fingers, then add a layer of sliced strawberries. Add another third of the cream, then repeat with sponge fingers, cream and strawberries. For the top layer, I like to use strawberries cut in half, cut side down, pressed neatly into the cream.

About this recipe

This no-bake cake was a regular feature in our house during the summer. And not just with strawberries - we also made it with blueberries and blackberries. When we got a craving for it in winter, we'd use bananas or even canned mandarin oranges instead.
