No Bake Watermelon Cake Recipes

NO BAKE WATERMELON CAKE

Steps:

• Cut your watermelon into the desired shape.
• I began with a small round seedless watermelon and cut the watermelon into a rectangle. For obvious reasons, a seedless watermelon does promote friendly consumption.
• Frost with your choice of store purchased or homemade whipped cream. I have tried this cake with the canned whipped cream and homemade whipped cream or coconut frosting.
• The taste of the homemade whipped cream was superior; however, for ease and consistency, the canned whipped cream was easier to apply.
• After choosing the frosting (a coconut milk based whipped cream is also a good choice) frost the watermelon cake just as any other cake.
• If you are making your own whipped cream please remember a thicker consistency is desired as it adheres better to the watermelon and allows for easier decoration.
• Feel free to use the whipped cream frosting of your choice. There is a little trial and error involved to perfect the consistency which will adhere to the cake.
• It will be apparent very quickly if your frosting needs to be thickened a smidge to adhere to the watermelon cake.
• There are quite a few recipes for coconut frosting listed at Allrecipes if you are interested in trying a coconut frosting. I find the reviews invaluable for tips and tweaking of a recipe.
• Chill until serving.
