This recipe has 11 ingredients. I takes 5 hours and 15 minutes of total time, 45 minutes of which is active and makes 10 to 12 servings. I had no problems finding any of the ingredients at my local grocery store and made no ingredient modifications. I did have to make a few changes to the recipe. The first issue was with the time the recipe stated for the gelatin to set. The recipe states for the gelatin to set for 30 minutes, that is way too short. I tried using the mousse after it had sat in the fridge for 30 minutes and the cake layers slide off. I put the gelatin back in the fridge and let it sit for an hour and then it was much easier to deal with. Finally, I changed the frosting recipe. The frosting didn't add any vanilla extract. I have never made frosting without vanilla or almond extract, so I added a small amount of both and then set it in the fridge until I frosted the cake. This helped the frosting not to be runny and the flavor was great with the addition of the extracts. I followed the remainder of the recipe as written.

DeleteTo be honest I've never tried raw strawberries in my whole life. And just by looking at the photo, it just makes me salivate. Strawberries are so expensive here in my country and they're only grown in the northernmost part of Philippines.
ReplyDeleteRaw strawberries are really delicious :) Luckily here they are very easy to find and inexpensive, I use them all the time in the spring and summer!

ReplyDeleteThis recipe is actually easy, it looks much more complicated than it is. Just make sure to chill the bowl and beaters before you whip the cream and it should turn out!
DeleteI had two kids and they were not permitted to fight because it drove me up the wall.
ReplyDeleteA few, "YOU WANNA FIGHT? I'LL FIGHT WITH YOU." and they got tired of it. LOL
Now if I'd had this strawberry mousse cake I'd have been a better mother. :)
It can drive me pretty crazy too! That's why I eat a little bit of sugar and relax with a cup of coffee :)
DeleteThis looks absolutely amazing. My son is grown and out of the house, but I still have lots of reasons to need a slice of cake! My husband loves strawberries, too. Thanks, Frugal!
ReplyDeleteThanks :) My two adore strawberries and every time that I buy the for a recipe, I have to hide them to ensure that they don't get eaten!
DeleteHi, just to let you know that I added this post to StumbleUpon for you. Someone did this for my corned beef post and its page views just shot up. I hope that works for you too.
ReplyDeleteIf it does, and you want to, you could like one of my posts that you liked in StumbleUpon too – but you do have to register with them (it's free) and then download their toolbar or click the SU button I have now put at the bottom of most posts – probably too much hassle.
Thanks for following Carole's Chatter
