Mixed Berry Cake Ingredients

For The Cake

• All-purpose Flour. I use all-purpose flour for this recipe to get a fluffy texture because.
• Butter. Add butter to the mixture to add moisture and more flavor to the cake.
• Baking Powder. To leaven your cake, add the right amount of baking powder.
• Baking Soda. Baking soda, like baking powder, is a leavening agent, and by adding this to your cake mixture, the batter will rise when it bakes.
• Eggs. I used 4 large eggs at room temperature.
• Vanilla Extract. Add a few drops to make your flavorful!
• Granulated Sugar. It will add sweetness to the cake. It also allows the cake to hold its moist for a better texture.
• Whole milk. I used 1 cup of whole milk, you may use non dairy milk if you want.
• Sour Cream. Together with whole milk, sour cream will create a better consistency for the batter.

For Berries and whipped cream

• Berries. A fresh mix of berries is the highlighted flavor in this recipe. A bite from these berries in your cake would give you a burst of sweet juice. In this recipe I used strawberry, blueberry, raspberry and blackberry.
• Heavy Cream. It gives the Berry Cake that creamy and mild to sweet flavor.

How to Make Fresh Berry Cake?

Before starting, preheat the oven to 177°C / 350°F and grease with butter three 20 cm cake tins or line with parchment paper.

One (Make The Cake): In a mixing bowl, whisk butter and sugar until smooth and creamy.

Two: Whisk in eggs, sour cream and vanilla extract, beat for 1-2 minutes until well combined.

Three: Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, mix until combined.

Four: Pour the batter evenly into the three cake tins. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the cakes are baked through.

Five: Allow cakes to cool completely.

Six (Make The Whipped Cream): Using a hand mixer, whip heavy cream, powdered sugar, vanilla extract for 2-3 minutes until peaks form.

Seven (Assemble The Berry Cake): Place one of the cake layers on the serving plate, spread about ½ cup of whipped cream on top, followed by a single layer of mixed berries on top.

Eight: Top with the second cake layer and repeat. Spread remaining whipped cream on top and garnish with fresh berries. Cut the cate and serve.

Top Tips!

• Measure your ingredients correctly. Do not experiment by merely adding ingredients and more amounts to the mixture. To ensure accuracy, use the correct measuring tools instead of eyeballing.
• I don't recommend using frozen berries in making this berries cake.
• Overmixing the batter will result in a dry, dense cake instead of a soft and fluffy one.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 days.
• Divide the batter between the 3 cake tins equally. To do so, use a measuring cup to scoop the batter into the pans.

How To Serve This Mixed Berry Cake

Serve this mixed berry cake with green tea, coffee, orange juice or a cup of milk. For me, I like to serve it with a cup of white chocolate latte or date shake.
