Description

A vibrant and festive dessert featuring layers of soft cake, whipped cream, and fresh berries, perfect for celebrations and summer gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 2/3 cups Cake flour
  • 1 tablespoon Baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 2/3 cups C&H® Granulated Sugar
  • 3/4 cup Butter (softened)
  • 3 Large eggs
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 2 1/2 cups Heavy whipping cream (chilled)
  • 4 tablespoons C&H® Powdered Sugar
  • 1/2 pint Fresh blueberries (washed)
  • 2 pints Fresh strawberries (washed, hulled, halved)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease and flour a 13×9-inch baking pan. Line with parchment paper and grease it again.
  2. Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl. In a large bowl, beat sugar and butter together until light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add flour mixture and milk alternately, mixing on low speed.
  5. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool slightly, then invert onto a wire rack.
  6. Beat chilled cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form in a separate bowl. Spread whipped cream over the cooled cake.
  7. Decorate with blueberries and strawberries. Chill before serving.

Notes

For best results, ensure butter is softened and the mixing bowl for whipped cream is chilled. Decorate with fruits in a flag pattern for festive occasions.
