Ingredients

Scale

Whipped Cream Mixture

  • 2 cups fresh, chilled heavy whipping cream
  • 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

Sponge Cake Layers

  • 1 light and airy sponge cake (homemade or store-bought), enough for 2-3 layers

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sponge Cake: Start by baking a light, fluffy sponge cake using your favorite recipe or a boxed mix. Allow it to cool completely on a wire rack before assembling so it doesn’t melt the cream.
  2. Whip the Cream: In a chilled bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Make sure not to overbeat to avoid turning it buttery.
  3. Assemble the Layers: Slice the sponge cake horizontally to create two or three layers. Spread a generous layer of whipped cream mixed with shredded coconut and sweetened condensed milk between each cake layer.
  4. Top and Garnish: Cover the entire cake with the remaining whipped cream mixture, then sprinkle extra shredded coconut on top for a beautiful finish.
  5. Chill and Serve: Let the Heaven on Earth Cake chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the cream to set perfectly.

Notes

  • Use cold bowls and tools to help the cream whip faster and stay stable longer.
  • Make sure the sponge cake is completely cooled before assembling to keep whipped cream light and fluffy.
  • A little sweetened condensed milk goes a long way to achieve perfect creaminess without making it too sweet.
  • Spread whipped cream evenly between layers for consistent texture and balanced flavor.
  • Refrigerate the cake before serving to let the flavors meld and to make slicing cleaner.
