In 1998 I sat next to Rose Levy Beranbaum on a panel of bakers at a Barnes & Noble for a “Celebrity Cook Book Club.” I was freshly out of culinary school and working as a pastry chef at a fine dining restaurant. I was neither a “celebrity” nor a cookbook author, so how I ended up on that panel was a complete mystery. I just wanted to meet my baking hero in person. I was so nervous I could barely speak, felt like a world class imposter and must have blacked out because I recall NOTHING! I do remember Rose being kind and welcoming.
I baked my way through Rose Levy Beranbaum’s original Cake Bible in an attempt to fill the gaps left in my instruction at the Culinary Institute of America (CIA). Rose’s recipes are an education! The way she structures her books is so unique and the recipes ironclad—there is nothing left to chance. I can say with complete confidence that they ALL work flawlessly. Every pastry kitchen has a copy of The Cake Bible. I had two copies when I was running a pastry kitchen. I left one behind as a gift to my staff when I had my boys and decided to leave the restaurant world. It was the right thing to do, but I regret not taking that treasure home, which was filled with all my notes and splattered with so many years of baking memories.
Since that first encounter I have had the great fortune of seeing Rose at events and getting to meet her husband, Woody. They met over their love of baking cakes and have gone on to build a partnership and eventually create this 35th Anniversary edition of The Cake Bible together. In my view, the original book was perfection but now it is even better! I am so thrilled to consider them friends and mentors.

Equipment
Ingredients
- 225 g (2 1/4 cups sifted into the cup and leveled off) bleached cake flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 3/4 tsp fine sea salt
- 3 large eggs at room temperature
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 348 g (1 1/2 cups / 355ml) cold heavy cream
- 225 g (1 cup plus 2 Tbsp.) sugar preferably superfine sugar
Instructions
PREHEAT THE OVEN + PREPARE THE PAN
- Twenty minutes or longer before baking, set an oven rack in the lower third of the oven. Set the oven at 375℉/190℃.
- Coat the tube pan with baking spray and flour.
MIX THE DRY INGREDIENTS
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt and then sift the mixture onto a piece of parchment to make it easier to incorporate.
MIX THE LIQUID INGREDIENTS
- In a 1 cup/237 ml glass measure with a spout, lightly whisk the measured egg yolks and egg whites. Add the vanilla and whisk until lightly combined.
MAKE THE BATTER
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk beater, whip the cream on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form when the beater is raised.
- Starting on medium-low speed, gradually beat in the egg mixture and continue beating for 2 minutes. The mixture will thicken into mayonnaise consistency (if high-butterfat cream is used, it will be less thick). Gradually beat in the sugar; it should take about 30 seconds to incorporate it.
- Remove the bowl from the stand. Add half the flour mixture to the cream mixture and with a flat wire whisk, or the whisk from the stand mixer, stir and fold it in until most of the flour disappears. Add the rest of the flour mixture and continue folding and mixing until all traces of flour have disappeared. Finish with a silicone spatula, reaching to the bottom of the bowl.
- Scrape the batter into the prepared pan. Run a metal spatula or dull knife blade through the batter, to prevent large air bubbles, avoiding the bottom of the pan, and smooth the surface with a small offset spatula. The pan will be half full.
BAKE THE CAKE
- Bake for 25 to 35 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted between the center tube and sides of the pan comes out completely clean and the cake springs back when pressed lightly in the center. The cake should start to shrink from the sides of the pan only after removal from the oven.
COOL AND UNMOLD THE CAKE
- Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Invert the cake onto a wire rack that has been lightly coated with nonstick cooking spray. Cool completely.
Notes
Airtight: room temperature, 3 days; refrigerated, 1 week; frozen, 3 months POINTERS FOR SUCCESS The bowl and beaters for whipping the cream should not be chilled because the eggs will not emulsify as readily if the whipped cream is too cold. For the smoothest top crust, to eliminate bubbles from the airy batter, start filling the pan by spreading a little of the batter into the grooves of the pan and pressing it in with a silicone spatula. Then add the remaining batter. UNDERSTANDING
Compared to a basic layer cake, this cake has about 18 to 25 percent more butterfat, depending on the fat content of the cream, and almost the same amount of water content. It also has one extra egg, balanced by less baking powder. A lower amount of vanilla is needed because of the floral quality of the cream. COMPLEMENTARY ADORNMENTS
A light dusting of powdered sugar or whipped cream and berries
I was confused by the 225 g (2 1/4 cups) sifted bleached cake flour. When I measured out 225 grams, it was NOT 2-1/4 cups. Not even close. What is correct?
Hi Barbara, both are correct. I just double checked the recipe. Measuring by weight is always going to be your best bet because everyone measures into a cup differently. Rose included instructions to sift into the cup and level off for anyone who doesn’t use weights. Perhaps that is why it seems like it’s not close to 2 1/4 cups when you measured the second time. I’d highly recommend just baking by weight! I hope this helps.
I, too, used The Cake Bible as a Bible through the years of becoming and then being a pastry chef in NYC, having children and baking for them, running a small cake business from home, etc. etc.! Of course, you know Rose — what a dreamy cake babe duo!
This whipped cream cake recipe looks so good! Looking forward to trying it.
This looks simply delicious! I will make it soon for a belated Happy Father’s Day treat for my wonderful sons-in-law. Thank-you Rose, Woody and Zoe
Thanks for sharing this wonderful cake recipe! I made it for a Father’s Day dinner celebration and it was a big hit! It’s very light, and has a great texture. Loved it!
Love Rose’s recipes and can’t wait to try this one!
Looking forward to trying this recipe. Would be great w strawberries & whipped cream!
Family reunion cake ✅❤️❤️❤️
Amazing! I have two of Roses books and one of Zoe’s. Y’all are gifts from God to bakers everywhere! Thank you for baking, perfecting and sharing your knowledge with “home cooks”.
The whipped cream cake looks delicious!
Both my grandmothers and my mother were wonderful bakers, and I have followed in their footsteps. It is so much fun to bake!
I can’t wait to try this, and thank you for the opportunity to win the cookbook!
Mmmmm. This cake looks amazing. Will definitely try it!!!
I have to make thus cake. After reading your email I made a grocery list. Can’t wait to share how it wowed everyone!
This cake is delicious! It is nice and light and very flavorful. The directions were spot on with the exception of the eggs. I didn’t know why it said egg yolks and egg whites instead of just saying whisk the eggs in the measuring up.
Came here to say that. I read the recipe three times to make sure I wasn’t missing anything. It should just say “whisk the eggs”.
This cake looks delicious! I can’t wait to try it!
This beautiful cake looks like the perfect accompaniment to the berries that I picked up today! Thank you for sharing the recipe with us ~ heading to the kitchen now to bake one up 🙂
Love your books!
Can’t wait to try this cake!
Learn so much from Rose and Zoe
I’m excited to get this new book! I don’t have the original so I’m looking forward to reading and learning from her newest version! Cakes have always been a little trickier than pies, scones and cookies so I hope to become successful with this new book! 🙂
I would love to bake a cake from this book with my granddaughters for my 70th birthday on June 28th!
Thank You for this recipe – I’m hoping to find time today to make it for my husband for Father’s Day tomorrow.
I love just about anything made in a Bundt pan. Got my first one in college. Can’t wait to try this cake. Perfect for a summer get together.
I love making cakes….I would love the recipe.
Thank You
My copy of the Cake Bible is one of most treasured cookbooks, with lots of spills and splatters and happy memories. Rose and Zoe are both such inspirations to me. They make amazing cakes approachable to all of us home bakers!
I’m looking forward to trying this recipe. Thank you ladies for taking the time to gather all your wonderful recipes for the rest of us.
Well done! I understand the title ‘Cake Bible’ after seeing the steps/process of success for new & experienced bakers!
The new edition sounds great!
Thanks so much for the lovely recipe.
I am not a big cake eater but love to try new recipes so I made this today and it is absolutely delicious!! I love adding the fruit and whipped cream. It is a perfect summertime treat! Thanks for sharing the recipe.
A legendary baker-author and a legend of a book!
Thank you Rose, thank you Zoe for generously sharing this recipe. You are both inspiring and encouraging teachers, inviting us into the JOY of baking — and it is a joy because baking induces sharing and what is that but joy?
Would love to add this classic book to my cookbook collection. Can’t imagine why I don’t have a copy already!
Looks great
My original copy of The Cake Bible is falling apart, but it is the most treasured baking book I own. I can’t wait to make this cake.
I have loved my edition of the Cake Bible for many years. Every cake I have baked ( and there have been many, many) has been superb.
Thank you Rose!
I have the original baking book. Can’t wait to see the updates.
Thank you!
Recipe looks fantastic, love a great cake.
I will make make Rose’s special chocolate cake.
Looking forward to trying this cake, it sounds delightful for a summer party or anytime really! I have some bundt pans that are itching for a new recipe 🙂
Do you have any suggestions on how I could use gluten free flour (Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1)in this recipe?
Hi Sue! Zoë doesn’t think this recipe would work with a 1:1 gluten-free flour because it calls specifically for bleached cake flour rather than all-purpose.
This cake would be so good with fresh berries this summer! Thank you for sharing the recipe and for the opportunity to win this classic cookbook! I would be thrilled to get this!
Going to make for Father’s Day!
I’d love the pan!!
Looking forward to making this cake for my birthday soon!!
Just happened to have everything I need to make this cake today along with delicious fresh ripe strawberries from the garden. It hanks so much ch for sharing the recipe

Now…hopefully I’ll win this beautiful cookbook.
Looks great! Excited to try it.
I’ll be purchasing this book for sure ❤️

My sister is the baker of the family, but I still try my hand at it every now and again. This looks awesome and will be my first try at a bundt cake (I have my grandmother’s old heavy pan) in a while. Thanks for sharing the recipe, and for the chance at getting a copy of the Cake Bible!
This cake is wonderful. My son-in-law wants it every year for Father’s Day and his Birthday.
No cake is left behind…plate is empty by the end of the party.

This cake looks absolutely elegant and must taste exquisite. I must try my hand at this. Thank you for sharing the recipe. Very grateful.
I have this Bundt pan already and can’t wait to try the cake!
Dear Zöe and Rose, thank you for the fun interview and setting up bakers for success! I look forward to trying the whipped cream cake, especially since strawberries are in season!
It’s funny that during the summer, people hold up their fingers in a cross to say NO MORE ZUCCHINI, yet when I offer a new cake that I have baked, I am a celebrity. Can’t wait to share this care with my friends.
Yum! Thank you
Prefect for any time of the year but, Summer… WOW! This is so delicious and impressive!
I can’t wait to try making this cake! What a great reason to treat myself to a new Bundt pan…
This looks delicious!
What a beautiful cake! Perfect for summer and fresh berries!

Well written and clear directions. I appreciate recipes that cover even the most minute detail to allow bakers better understanding of the why it works and the chemistry
Love your recipes and your tips!!!
I hope to improve my baking skills and would love the help from the Cake Bible!
I have the original cookbooks and love all of Roses recipes. I own all of Zoe’s.. it’s a match made in heaven! This was so good!
Anxious to bake this cake and serve with strawberries and more whipped cream!
I’m always looking for the next thing to bake- this is definitely it!
Thank you for passing along this divine ‘Whipped Cream Cake’ recipe with a hopeful aspirational baker—what a treat to receive it from two of the most fabulous dessert Mavens!” Oh là là! A sweet blessing!
Recipe looks wonderful! I will definitely give it a try soon!
Thank you for sharing the recipe!
Very much looking forward to making this cake and adding something rhubarby.
I can’t wait to try this beautiful cake!
I’m always searching for something special… basically that’s all desserts! Thanks for always tempting us!
I am typically not a cake lover when it comes to desserts but I have to try this one. I love whipped cream and am intrigued by the addition of it as a replacement for butter. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Admittedly I am not a great baker though I do try. Thankfully my family continues to support my efforts. I follow Zoe religiously and would love the opportunity to win the Cake Bible. PS : my family would also consider this a win!
I purchased Rose’s Pie Bible many years ago as I was learning the science and art of making pies. It’s full of references and recipes, so I’m sure her Cake Bible is just as excellent! My son is visiting from NYC next week for his birthday and he asked that I bake his cake. This is the perfect recipe! Thank you to Rose (&Woody) and Zoe for sharing their knowledge and recipes!
Thank you for the recipe. Would like to have the book!!!!
Zoe, Rose, whipped cream? can. not. wait. Thank you both!
My go to ladies when I want to bake are: Rose, Zoe and Sarah. I have many recipe books by each one. My baking is always a great success with them helping!! Agreed, Father’s Day for this cake!!!!
This is a glorious and delicious cake. I am grateful for the sharing of the recipe. In my opinion, Zoe and Rose are powerhouses in the baking world.
Thank you for this recipe…can’t wait to bake it! Really excited to enter the contest too.The Cake Bible would be a treasure to add to my cookbook collection…don’t ask, lol!
Can’t wait to try it! Looks amazing…
This book would be amazing. As a homeschool mom we love to bake together as a family. Will try this recipe! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for this recipe & all the cakes, Rosie & Zoe!
Thanks for this recipe & all the cakes, Rosie & Zoe!
Thank you for sharing! Looks amazing!
Looking forward to trying this. Thank you for sharing!
Sounds delicious!
I have all of Rose’s books and they are amazing. Haven’t picked this one up yet, so I’d love to win!
The recipe is great, but the “notes” are priceless. “Pointers for Success” will help any baker, and “Understanding” the fat content is great for cake nerds who always want to know the science that makes a recipe work.
This recipe sounds delicious!
I am looking forward to making it!
I am immediately planning a dinner party so I can serve this cake!!!
YUMMY!
A cake recipe without butter or oil? I must try it!
Thank you Bakers Beranbaum & Francois for sharing and posting! The cake looks fabulous!
Thank you for the recipe…making it soon
butter cake with berries and whipped cream….heaven! I need to get that particular Bundt Cake in my kitchen
Looks so good, can’t wait to try making this cake and topping it with fresh local strawberries!
Father’s Day. With a cherry compote for our cherry-loving dad!
Thanks for all you do to make us better bakers!
I have tried many of her recipes and can’t wait to try some from her new cookbook.
Of course Zoe knows Rose! Both so inspiring and such great teachers! This cake looks scrumptious!
Looking forward to trying this with some sugared fresh strawberries.
Ah: amazing. I am making this as soon as possible.
Love the pan and will ignore the calories!
A delightful story! Can’t wait to try the recipe – – yum!!
Looks delish!!!!
Looking forward to this new edition of The Cake Bible and standing it right next to our flour-covered Pie and Pastry Bible!
Looking forward to getting this new edition of The Cake Bible. It will stand right next to our Pie and Pastry Bible (which is well worn and covered with flour) by Rose.
Looks amazing!!
This will be my next cake baking project…sounds simple and delicious!
This looks amazing! Definitely need to get your cookbook- cakes are something I would love to perfect!!
Will definitely be trying this recipe this weekend! It looks Devine!
I shall make this in honor of my father who loved desserts and whipping cream. Thank you for sharing and the opportunity to win Rose’s book.
When I was younger, I loved making more complicated recipes, but now I prefer simple recipes that don’t sacrifice on taste. Thank you both for sharing this recipe. I can’t wait to make it.
This looks amazing! Need to use my cream up so will be trying this soon! Thanks for the chance to win the Cake Bible book!
Can’t wait to try this revipe
I started baking cakes when I was about 12 years old, mostly for my father, who was a certified cake-fiend. I confess, I always loved cake too. I wish I had had the Cake Bible when I was young, but would really love it now. Appreciate the lovely recipes from both Zoe and Rose.
So happy to learn that Rose will be sharing her many years of thoughtfully observed cake baking in this revised and expanded edition of The Cake Bible.
Looks amazing! Will be making this for my husband’s birthday next week!
Thanks for sharing!
I’m making this today, looks heavenly!
Whipped cream and cake! I am in. Oh, and a chance at winning the book this came from?! So exciting! Thank you for sharing the recipe! It is appreciated!
Looking forward to making this gorgeous cake, entering AND winning a copy of the Cake Bible!
I am going to make the cake this weekend – looks absolutely delicious. Thank you
This looks scrumptious! Can’t wait to try it!
I just happen to have some cream I need to use. Now I know what I’m going to make.
This recipe is very similar to one that was my mother’s favorite. I’m definitely going to bake and compare them. Thank you.
I sure hope I win the book. I’ll make every cake in it!
What an intriguing recipe! I am excited to bake this for my family. Thanks
Eager to bake this cake!
This is going on the to-do list immediately. It looks delicious!
Love, love, love the Cake Bible!!
Looks delicious- must try!
Thank you. Will make it this weekend!
I love whipped cream!! So I’m anxious to make this cake!! Also…. I just now took Zoe Bakes Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies out of the oven! They are indeed perfect!!! …… and my grandsons are enroute as I type!!
Thank you for the chance to win the new cookbook! Michigan strawberries are in season, so I am looking forward to topping this cake with them! Five stars for excellent instructions
Looks wonderful! The Grands are coming from California and I will be making this. Thank you!
If Zoe likes someone else’s cake, it’s got to be something great!
I’m new to ‘The Cake bible’, but have always loved baking cakes. Recently discovered Zoe, and having fun with her Bakes Cakes cookbook
This looks pretty fabulous!!!
I think this would be a perfect Father’s Day recipe served with beautiful fresh fruit and lots of whipped cream!
This looks absolutely delicious and easy too.
This recipe looks amazing. Can’t wait to try it!
I am whipping up this cake to honor the best Fathers on Father’s Day with a rhubarb (from my garden) compote!
Delicious…my grandson could not get enough

Thank you for the wonderful cake recipe. I have everything here to make it today.
Would love to win your cookbook.
Happy. baking

Sublime cake – love the pointers for success !
Thank you for sharing!
Can’t wait to try it!! We have a tons of fresh raspberries right now, I think I’ll pile it with whipped cream and berries! Rose’s the Bread Bible is one of my most used books, I don’t know how I’m missing the Cake Bible!
I’ve wanted this book for years but never got around to it. I have a question—are the three eggs separated before being mixed in? The recipe calls for 3 eggs and the instructions say to combine the 3 egg yolks and the 3 egg whites and whisk them together. I love that you don’t have to deal with room temperature butter. How can anything with that much heavy cream be bad. I enjoyed the Q&A immensely.
Always fascinated by Zoe’s recommendations ! This one looks like another winner and can’t wait to try it — though it’s more like my husband can’t wait for me to try it!
This cake is stunning!! Thank you for sharing. I really “need” that pan now too! 🙂
Can’t wait to try this!
This is an intriguing recipe. Can’t wait to try it!
A friend gave me a copy of The Cake Bible. I can’t wait to get the updated version and to try this cake.
Don’t get mad at me because I rated this and haven’t tried it yet. I am shocked that there is no butter in this recipe. I can’t wait to try this for Father’s Day. I really appreciate the “pointers for success” provided too.
I am making this tonite!
Looks absolutely delicious!
I am excited to make this cake for Father’s Day. I would love to have the book to use when baking with my Granddaughter. She loves to bake and is getting pretty good at it.
Thank you, Judi
On my first trip to the US my friend showed me her copy of the Cake Bible. I was hooked immediately, bought a copy and cleaned it back home Germany. Then it came back when I i.migrated here. I have never been disappointed by a recipe from Rose or Zoe.
As an owner of the first edition of The Cake Bible and fan of Rose’s, I’m excited for the new version. I wish I could be at the B and N event but I have a couple flit that night.
Yes! This sounds heavenly. I would love a copy.
This is the cake for me! Luscious whipped cream, cake and fruit! Thank you for the recipe!
I have made a lot of cakes, but nothing quite like this! But it makes sense. Excited to try.
I have The Cake Bible, it was the book I learned to bake from. It is a treasure and the recipes are timeless and delicious. I would love to have the revised edition. Thank you.
Cake, whipped cream and fruit–perfect combination! I hope I win!
I never comment on sites, so this is my first because I want to sincerely thank you Zoë, Rose & Woody. Sharing your talents to help others is a real gift, and I appreciate your time, passion, recipe, and book.
I am so excited to try this cake. My husband’s birthday was on Monday and we are celebrating it with Father’s Day. Will bake this for all 4 kids as we celebrate this special week.
Thank you both for sharing this recipe, and for this giveaway! I haven’t tried any recipes from Rose’s cookbooks but this gives me the encouragement to try!
What a lovely cake, Zoe you always inspire me to bake beautiful things
Deliciousness!
Beautiful cake, can’t wait to try this recipe!
I can’t wait to get my hands on this book! thank you for sharing about it!
Delighted and grateful to have this recipe to bake! Thank you!
I can’t wait to try this cake, it looks delicious!! It’s simple ingredients but looks so fancy. Will be great for summer entertaining! I love all things cake and all things baking!! Thank you for this recipe and a chance to win the fabulous book!
I’m drooling over the scrumptious pictures of cakes. Yumm!
Thank you for the cake recipe. My son gave me the Baking Bible and I’d love to add the Cake Bible to it.
I’m always looking for a perfect and easy cake recipe!
This cake will make a stunning companion for ripe Oregon Hood strawberries!!
Would love to win a copy of Rose’s book. I have Zoe’s already so this would complete my collection
I can hardly wait to prepare this cake for my family! Thank you for sharing!
This looks like such a simple straightforward recipe. I just picked strawberries and will be making this cake to go with them. Thank you. I would love a copy of the cake bible!
Really looking forward to giving this a try!!
Wow! This cake looks so delicious and also pretty to behold! Thank you for the recipe!
Can’t wait to try this cake! I think Father’s Day will be the perfect time to try it!
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. I forgot what a delicious cake it is. The Cake Bible is one of the cookbooks I bought when I was newly married (I won’t say how long ago that was!) and have made many a yummy cake from it. I am curious to see the difference in the editions.
Today I was planning to make Rose’s white cake (my go to) from Rose’s Baking Basics to have with strawberries and cream, but I’m going to give this one a try instead. Thank you!
Love the recipe. Thanks for amazing post. Can’t wait to try this one. ❤️❤️❤️
The cake looks wonderful in that beautiful pan. Thanks for sharing
What a great recipe and the tips are even better to make it foolproof for someone like me that hasn’t been successful in my endeavor in baking things:)
Can’t wait to try this cake! It reminds me of a cake I ate as a child, hoping it’s similar.
As someone who loves to bake, I can’t wait to try this cake. Thank you for sharing it with us.
I look forward to making this Whipped Cream Cake and in a Bundt pan too! Stunning presentation and Happy 35th Anniversary to The Cake Bible!
An absolutely beautiful cake! I can’t wait to try the recipe. Thanks so much for sharing it.
Oh so fabulous! Here I am at 78, learning how to make even-better cakes! Love this life-long learning! Thanks to you, Zoe & Rose, for this recipe and the opportunity for your book, Rose!
This cake looks lush and delicious, perfect for summer baking. Thanks for sharing the recipe. I am on my summer break and cannot wait to try it.
This looks like a perfect addition to summer gatherings, can’t wait to try it!
I thought I had already posted when I saw the first name Adele, but I realized it wasn’t me so I added my last initial. I would love to make this cake and it’s perfect combination as you said of pound cake and sponge cake. I just need a new Two pan because I gave my cathedral pan to a friend. I’m also happy to see you. encourage people to weigh ingredients whipped cream to me is the reason to have cake.
I also would love to make Woody chocolate cake, the one with the boiling water and the cocoa powder. That’s my next favorite. Looking forward to it.
This cake looks delish. I love to bake and being creative as well as sharing my goodies with other people. I have cook book by Rose Levi which I enjoy.
Thank you for sharing this recipe. I can’t wait to try it. What an iconic duo – Rose and Zoe!
Sounds wonderful! Can’t wait to try it. Thanks so much!
This cookbook has lived in my kitchen for more than 30 years, traveling from one city to another, always a valuable and reliable tool in my arsenal. Can’t wait to see the update!
This cake looks divine! Definitely making this weekend!
Thank You for sharing. I’ll be sharing this cake on Fathers Day.
Can’t wait to try this recipe, looks so heavenly and light. I love trying new recipes and new cook books.
Just gorgeous! Can’t wait to make it!
Oh, this looks so delicious for summer eating. I’ve never had a copy of ‘The Cake Bible’. I think it’s about time I did.
Perfect for fathers day…. can’t wait to try it!
I have made this cake more times than I can count. It never fails to impress. My copy of the cake Bible is well worn and stained. It is how I learned to bake.
Looks delicious! Can’t wait to try it
I’ve had and used the Cake Bible for decades. I’m excited to learn how she’s improved on perfection.
Rose is a master and a wizard! Thank you Zoe for sharing with us. I’m definitely ordering this book STAT.
I don’t have the Cake Bible, just the Bread Bible, but I will definitely pick it up now. My family love cake!
I’m looking forward to trying this recipe.
This looks so yummy! And I cannot believe it’s been 35 years since this was first published! I could not wait to get it back then, and now I’m even more excited to get my new, improved, big text for easier reading copy!
What an excellent summer recipe! Can’t wait to make it.
Sounds Soooo good. Can’t wait to make!
I am fascinated by the method in this recipe! Can’t wait to surprise my hubby for Father’s Day!
Can’t wait to try this cake
I have always purchased and loved Rose’s cookbooks, and both of my adult children now enjoy baking from her books.
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing! I’m looking forward to trying this soon!
Thank you for the recipe! A friend of mine made a whipped cream cake last year, and I’ve been wanting to try my hand at it ever since. This post has convinced me that I finally need to do it :).

My copy of the Cake Bible is well-loved. Can’t wait to see the new edition.
I will definitely be making the Whipped Cream Cake for our family Father’s Day get-together. Maybe 2, given the size of the group and everyone’s addiction to CAKE! Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Oh my! Who doesn’t love cake! Can’t wait to make this one!
Will be making this for guests this weekend. Thank you for the recipe!
Wow! Looks great. Look forward to trying it. Thanks for sharing!

I’m definitely making this whipped cream cake for our family Father’s Day get-together. In fact, I probably should make 2, given the number of people and everyone’s addiction to CAKE! Thank you for sharing the recipe
I’ve watched Rose make this recipe so many times on YouTube. I wanted to make it so badly but I’m terrible with Bundt Cakes. But I think I’m finally going to work up my courage and, following this recipe exactly, I’m going to give it a try. I’m still nervous but I’m also excited! It looks like an amazing cake that my family would love.
Zoe and Rose!
Give me strength to bake more cakes
I can’t wait to make this! Whipped cream and berries is the absolute best combination and this looks amazing!!!
Yummy!!
Beautiful cake. Thank you for sharing the recipe, I’ve printed it, and have it sitting on my counter ready to try! You had me at whipped cream!!!!
❤️
Can’t wait to try this beautiful cake!
It’s hard to believe that one could find her passion for baking cakes at the age of 65 but that’s what has happened for me! I don’t have a copy of the Cake Bible but would love to sit and savor each tip and recipe! I will be making this cake over the weekend for sure!
I can’t wait to make this cake ! It looks delicious. I have all the ingredients already!
I have to make this! Whipped Cream is my husband’s favorite thing in the world. Who knew there was a whipped cream cake! I can only imagine the many wonderful cakes in The Cake Bible that need to be baked!
Love a simple cake
Thank you for sharing this recipe. I’m thinking the cookbook will make a great Father’s Day gift!
Thank you for the recipe. Sounds delicious!!
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! Looking forward to “Whipping” this up 🙂
Stars are for the advice & general baking tips ~ I already know the cake will be a 5 Star.

I am so excited to try this recipe! I have had the Cake Bible since it first came out and would love the second edition! Thank you Zoe and Rose and Woody!
This looks delicious. Can’t wait to try!
I’m baking it today! And, excited to meet Rose !
I’m obsessed with whip cream and can’t wait to make this cake! I’ve always wanted a copy of The Cake Bible too.
This cake looks and sounds amazing! Thinking I’ll try it for my grandson’s birthday. He loves cake— but he especially loves cake with fresh fruit!
This recipe looks delicious. I’m looking forward to the updated Cake Bible. I weigh most ingredients these days.
This looks like such a simple yet delicious cake! How did I miss this before!
This looks like an amazing recipe. I don’t have a fluted bundt pan as pictured, so I hope a regular bundt pan will be ok. Can’t wait to try this one.
This cake sounds so delicious! Thank you for the recipe and for the chance at winning a cookbook
This looks so good – my 3 adult boys love whipped cream as its own food group – cant wait to make this- thank you!!
This cake looks heavenly! I can’t wait to give it a try!
Heartfelt thanks to Rose and you for sharing this recipe! I’m looking forward to baking it soon, and enjoying with local seasonal berries this summer. It would be a dream to be selected as winner of The Cake Bible, and will be treasured as much as my copy of Zoe Bakes Cakes!
This is one of those recipes that’s just simple and so delicious! So excited for Rose’s book. It’s a must have! I can’t wait to tey many more recipes from her book! congratulations Rose and thank you for share all of your beautiful recipes, experience & knowledge
All I cane say is “WOW” – Rose’s recipes are perfection and I have all her books, but would LOVE the new version. Thank you both for the recipes and fund through the years. I appreciate them more than I can ever say here.
What a lovely book. Would love to learn from it. I can’t wait to try this recipe. The video was very nice.
I have the first edition of The Cake Bible. It is an indispensable fixture in the kitchen. I will be giving this cake recipe a shot. I have the exact pan for it as well!
I would love to bake from the original (which I have and use constantly) and the revised to learn the updates!
I can’t wait to make this cake. It’s right up my alley! Thank you!
This sounds so good. Can’t wait to dive into this recipe.
Rose is such a treasure. Can’t wait to try this brilliant cake!
I have all of Rose’s and your cookbooks. I’d love a chance to win this epic new book to add to my collection. Thank you for the opportunity hopefully win this prize!
Thank you for sharing this and many other wonderful recipes! For the ones of us who live vicariously through y’alls amazing journey with baking, we are grateful!
Thank you so much for gifting the recipe! I’m looking forward to baking it this weekend and would love to add the new book to my collection!
I can’t wait to try this recipe and have an opportunity to add this cookbook to my rotating collection. This looks perfect for summer.
This recipe looks AMAZING! I’d love to have Rose’s beautiful book to inspire more cake creations. Thanks Zoe!
Excited to try this cake!
This looks so good, if I don’t win the book I’ll likely buy it anyway!
I cannot wait to try this recipe!! Love Zoe and Rose! All of their recipes are flawless
This recipe looks fantastic, I can’t wait to try. I am new at taking my baking to the next level and Zoe has been very inspiring!
Thank you for your generosity in sharing this and other perfect recipes!
This cake looks heavenly!! I can’t wait to make it and pair with summer fruit.
ps Zoe’s interview with Rose Levy Beranbaum made me smile!
This looks so wonderful, I’m excited to make it! And what a great excuse to get that fluted bundt that’s been on my list! What strikes me, too, is it looks like an elevated, refined version of a very basic budget cake we grew up enjoying.
Stunning. I can’t wait to try it.
Look forward to baking this cake for Father’s Day and would love to have the Cake Bible, from one of my two favorite bakers. Thank you for sharing the recipe and the chance to win the GIVEWAY
I would love to try and enjoy the cakes in The Cake Bible!!
Thank you for the recipe I’d love to have the new book to inspire more cake baking.
Rose, your Cake Bible walked me through my first major project – making many white chocolate cheesecakes for my wedding 35 years ago! This recipe is a family favorite. Thank you for all the sweetness you’ve brought into our lives. I have kearned so much from you (and Zoe too!)
Making this wonderful cake for Father’s Day!
Wonderful cake. And the old cake bible is a must have. The new one probably too. Thank you Rose. And Zoe for presenting this to us.
Sounds like a perfect pairing with strawberries that are in season. Yum.
Looking forward to making this cake simple let delicious.
Looks like a scrumptious cake and I’m very intrigued by the cookbook.
I like you both, but I’ve loved Rose the longest. There were so many Sunday afternoon bookstore visits with our young sons, where I’d head for the Cake Bible, and they’d pick up whatever. Eventually, the guys gifted me a copy, and 30+ years later it looks like somebody’s grandma’s cookbook. I’ve marked and occasionally read aloud favorite stories (brother’s wedding cake, sifting as litmus test for potential beaus…) and without getting mushier, will just say thanks to Rose, and note that the best stack of bibles in my house are Rose Levy Berenbaum bibles.❤️
Rose’s recipes and Zoe’s recipes work! Thank you – this looks delicious!
Great interview with Rose!
I’m very excited to bake this cake. And, I would love to win a copy of her book.
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing! I will definitely try it out.
It looks gorgeous!!!
Yum!! This looks amazing! I can’t wait to try it!
I will be making this for Father’s Day, I’m sure it will be perfect just like all of Rose’s recipes I love how detailed the explanations are so I can just follow along and know that the results will be sublime.
Rose’s The Bread Bible is my all time favorite. I’m excited to now try her Cake Bible. Thanks for the recipe.
My favorite of all time!!! Thank you for the new edition of your fabulous book. My bible!!!
Roses Cake Bible has been my “Cake Bible”
I have never been disappointed in any recipe.
Thank you, Rose and thank you, Zoe
I will be making the whipped cream cake for my husband for Father’s Day!
If you don’t have superfine sugar, should the regular sugar be ground in a food processor to get the finer texture? Is that an important part of the cake to have the superfine sugar? The recipe looks simple enough for a beginner to make!
Going to bake this cake asap! Stunning and how can you go wrong with cream!!
I have made this cake several times. Everyone that tastes it raves about it. It’s an amazing cake and so easy to make. Thank you Rose for sharing your recipes and baking knowledge. Thank you to Zoe for sharing your knowledge as well. I love both of your cake books. ❤️
A recipe endorsed by Zoe and Rose? Yes, please! Can’t wait to try it—and thank you for sharing it!
Gorgeous. All your cakes are fabulous
Love the first book! I can’t wait to read and bake through the next one.
A cake made with whipped cream instead of butter. What could be more delicious?? I’m in!
I will make this cake soon….. Maybe today! If I weren’t drinking coffee with one eye open I’d bake it right this second! Thanks Rose for years of inspiration and Zoe, thank you for your inspired baking brilliance and the opportunity to win a copy of Rose’s book!
I’ll be making this beautiful cake, this weekend! The Cake Bible is a work of art! Everyone who loves to bake should have a copy.
Thank you Zoe for always providing us with wonderful and inspiring recipes. I look forward to your posts!
Making this to bring down to the Lake House! Guests will love ❤️ it! I also have the older version of Rose’s book. I am getting the newer version, too! Thank you, Zoe!
Can’t wait to try out this recipe and crossing my fingers I win The Cake Bible!
Yum! Cake! Great recipe! Great cookbook!
Your cake looks delicious and so beautiful too. I would love to win a copy of your book to add to my collection. I have so much to learn about baking cakes and your book sounds like a great place to start.
This cake looks scrumptious! So thrilled to see Ruth has a new version of The Cake Bible.
I going to bake that cake today, yummmmm
This looks like a wonderful recipe! Excited to bake it! I’ve often noticed The Cake Bible in the kitchens of friends & family that are incredible bakers…now I know their secret!
The cake looks amazing. I can’t wait to make it.
Can’t wait to make this cake. This recipe surely would have won me a coveted prize during all my years baking in 4-H. Thanks for sharing it.
Thank you for this opportunity! I’m frankly a pie and cookie baker, and so far have been intimidated by cakes. They often come out dry for me. Your book looms large and I’d love to improve and understand the process. Thank you.
Sounds like perfection. Can’t wait to make it!
Baking cakes is what started my love to cook . Can’t wait to try this one!
Simple yet beautiful! Looking forward to making it!
Beautiful! I can’t wait to try it!
Sounds amazing! Thank you!
I would love to have this new book. Rose is a legend in the baking world! Can’t wait to read and bake from the updated version!
I can’t wait to try this!!! Years ago I went to a small lighting store and was there so long, the manager asked me to have a piece of whipped cream cake she had made. It was her MIL’s recipe and knew it off the top of her head. I have made it several times over the years but this sounds EVEN BETTER!!!
I would SO LOVE to win that book!! The cover was delectable!
Hi, Zoe! I love baking cakes, but lost my copy of Rose’s Cake Bible. I do have the Pie and Pastry Bible. Recipes from it are great, as are recipes from Zoe Bakes Cookies, which I also own!!
Oh I cannot WAIT to try this ~ my project for this weekend! THANK YOU!
So excited to try the recipes!
My daughter and I love baking together and we are going to make this for her dad’s 65th BD party next week! Love the idea of the mountain of whipped cream and berries on top!
Can’t wait to try this!
I love cake! This looks amazing!
This looks like the perfect summer cake! I can’t wait to make it!
Hi! I love learning about baking! Thank you for sharing!
A cake heroine for sure! I would love a copy of her book. Thank you for running this contest!

Looks delicious…I will make it for our July 4th celebration!
Thank you for generously sharing this recipe and your knowledge of baking with us. My first edition of The Cake Bible is just about worn out from use. Would love to have a copy of the newly revised edition!
Thank you for the recipe.
A beautiful and delicious cake is truly a work of art.
Thank you for the free recipe! Making this for my 84 year old Dad for Father’s Day here in Chicago!!

Such an elegant and beautiful cake. I need one of those fluted pans.
Thank you for sharing this recipe. A+ presentation & photography. Can’t wait to bake and taste!
This recipe sounds lovely and I can’t wait to try it. And Zoe, love the interview and hearing about your history with Rose.
As many have, i learned the basics of cake making from Rose and her Cake Bible. I attended ICE later and found that I was more than suited and prepared for pastry school because of this early education, I would love to have the new edition of The Cake Bible in my pastry kitchen and I’m excited to try the recipe. Thanks for sharing!
This gorgeous cake will be our dessert on Father’s Day, thank you for the recipe! Looks delicious and surely a no fail if it comes from The Cake Bible!
I love to bake and would make great use of this cookbook (has been on my wish list for awhile).
I can’t wait to try this recipe. Would love to have a copy of Rose’s book!
I can’t wait to try this recipe. Thank you for sharing!
This looks delightful! And I’d love to win a copy of the book-looks like a must have! ❤️
This recipe looks wonderful. Can’t wait to try it!
I love The Cake Bible because the recipes are guaranteed to work! For a long time, it was one of the few books that had weight measurements.
I am very much looking forward to baking this cake, and seeing what other alchemic delights are in Rose’s book. I didn’t know about The Cake Bible, but I will hopefully soon rectify that.
Looks like an excellent cake for summer – can’t wait to try it!
I have the original Cake Bible and am excited to get the 35th anniversary edition! Making this cake today!
Thank you Zoë and Rose – This looks like a fabulous recipe, I can hardly wait to try it. Thank you for all the helpful tips, I love the chemistry behind the bake.
Beautiful! I can’t wait to make it.
This looks amazing! I’m taking a lot of inspiration for the strawberry and champagne cake I’m going to make for my friend’s Mariah Carey themed birthday party
Looks amazing! Thanks for sharing the recipe.
I have the original Cake Bible, purchased for me by my husband when we were newly married almost 40 years ago! Of course I read it cover to cover. I’d love to have the updated version, I will be making the whipped cream cake too!
Can’t wait to make this cake this weekend with my son!
Zoe is my mentor and if she loves this cake then I am excited to try to make it! Thrilled to be entering the contest and the chance to win such an epic book!!!!
This cake looks beautiful! I can’t wait to try it.
Beautiful cake. I will be making this.
I love this cake.
This looks and sounds scrumptious!
Have been following both yourself and Rose for years now (God bless instagram for the introduction!) Excited to read her new cookbook. This cake looks like a dream. (Forgot to take a picture but recently made your pavlova with my daughter. Heavenly.)
Thank you for sharing this wonderful cake recipe!
I love both Pound and Sponge cake!
Can’t wait to try this!
What a wonderful recipe! Simple ingredients and easy to prepare.
I am TERRIBLE at baking cakes, and I don’t know why. I swore off them, said I’d stick with tarts and little plated fun things – but I’ll make an exception for this one.
