Flavored Whipped Cream
Plain whipped cream is fine, but a cake this rich begs for a topping spiked with bright balancing flavors. And making those tweaks to your typical whipped topping is easy.
Mix 1 cup heavy cream, ¼ cup Greek yogurt or sour cream and 1½ tablespoons confectioners’ sugar until uniform and frothy, then whip until soft peaks form. ALTERNATIVE SUGARS: Mix 1 cup heavy cream and 1 tablespoon light brown sugar until uniform and frothy, then whip until soft peaks form.
BOOZY: Mix 1 cup heavy cream, 1 1/2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar and 1 teaspoon kirsch or triple sec until uniform, then as usual.
