🍰 How To Make Watermelon Cake

1. Cut the watermelon: Slice off the top and bottom of the watermelon. Stand it upright and cut away the rind, shaping it into a thick cylinder or “cake.”
2. Dry the surface: Pat the watermelon dry with paper towels to help toppings stick better.
3. Frost the watermelon: Use a spatula to spread whipped cream all over the sides and top of the watermelon “cake.”
4. Decorate: Top and surround the cake with strawberries, blueberries, almonds, coconut, or any fresh fruit you like. Add mint for garnish.
5. Chill and serve: Refrigerate for 10–15 minutes before slicing for best texture and presentation.

✅ Tips For Best Results

• Use a firm, round seedless watermelon for a smooth cake shape.
• Dry the surface very well to help the whipped cream stay on.
• Use cold whipped cream for easier spreading.
• Decorate just before serving to keep fruits fresh and whipped cream firm.
• To make it vegan, use plant-based whipped topping.
