RECIPE
1 Boxed French Vanilla Cake Mix
Milk, eggs, melted butter (follow directions on cake mix box for amounts.
For the cake simply follow the directions on box, but substitute the water with milk and the oil with melted butter.
While the cake is baking make the whipped cream. Fresh whipped cream is so very easy to make, it’s impossible for me to justify using a whipped topping when you can whip up whipped cream in under five minutes.
WHIPPED CREAM
1 Pint Heavy Whipping Cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Whip ingredients until soft peaks form. I prefer to do this by hand as it gives a feeling of accomplishment, but using a stand mixer is acceptable.
Do not over mix, the cream will not get fluffier and fluffier, instead it will turn to butter.
