Description
Every summer, my kitchen turns into a juicy, sticky paradise. I vividly remember my youngest walking in with a huge slice of watermelon, dripping down his chin. I thought, "I can turn this into a cake!" That's how I created this Watermelon Cake – No Flour. It's a lifesaver for hot days. We devour this Watermelon Cake – No Flour at every barbecue now. It’s pure joy, minus the oven heat. Trust me, Watermelon Cake – No Flour will impress your family too. You won’t miss the flour at all.
Ingredients
1 medium Seedless watermelo
2 cups Heavy cream, cold
1/4 cup Powdered sugar
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
As needed Fresh berries & mint, for decoratio
Instructions
- Prepare the watermelon. Cut two flat slices from the top and bottom of your watermelon. This makes a stable base
- Trim the rind. Carefully cut away all the green rind. Shape the watermelon into a perfect cylinder
- Make the frosting. In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Beat until stiff peaks form
- Assemble. Place the watermelon cylinder on a serving plate. Generously spread the cream all over. Completely coat the sides and top
- Decorate. Press fresh berries and mint leaves into the cream. Slice and serve immediately
Notes
Make sure your watermelon is very cold. Cold cream whips better.
Pat the watermelon dry with a paper towel to help the cream stick.
Always serve this cake right away; it gets watery if left out.
Use a sharp serrated knife to cut the watermelon cleanly.
This cake does not store well; eat immediately or refrigerate leftovers tightly covered for up to one hour. Do not freeze.
Reheating is not recommended.
