How to Make Strawberry Mousse Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare your cake layers according to your preferred recipe (or use store-bought for convenience).
  2. In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, mash the strawberries until mostly smooth. Stir in the lemon juice and Grand Marnier (optional).
  4. Gently fold the strawberry mixture into the whipped cream until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Once the cake layers are cool, layer them in a serving dish. Spread a generous layer of the strawberry mousse between the layers and on top.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the mousse to set and the flavors to meld.
  7. Before serving, garnish with fresh strawberries, whipped cream, or chocolate shavings (optional).
