July continues with cake month. I’m celebrating my birthday all month long. If you also have a July birthday, whip up one of the fabulous cakes and celebrate with me.
This strawberry mousse cake is so perfect for summer. It’s a no-bake recipe and it’s super simple to put together. No-bake cakes are such lifesavers during the peak summer heat.
Not only is it no-bake but it’s full of strawberry flavor. Using fresh summer berries will give you more flavor and it’s what I highly recommend.
The filling and topping are set with gelatin but the cake needs to remain refrigerated. If it gets too warm, it will start to lose shape.
I topped the mousse cake with whipped cream and sliced strawberries. This is completely optional but it makes the cake extra pretty for the occasion.
