   • In the chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
   • Gradually add powdered sugar while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.

   • Spread half of the whipped cream over the strawberries.

   • Sprinkle vanilla pudding mix evenly over the top layer of whipped cream.
4. Chill the Cake:
