Method

Cake Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

  3. 3

    Cream Butter and Sugar

    In another bowl, beat the unsalted butter until creamy. Gradually add in the granulated sugar and beat until light and fluffy.

  4. 4

    Add Eggs and Vanilla

    Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

  5. 5

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

  6. 6

    Bake the Cake

    Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  7. 7

    Cool the Cakes

    Remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Berry Filling Preparation

  1. 8

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium saucepan, combine the mixed berries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch.

  2. 9

    Cook the Filling

    Cook over medium heat until the mixture starts to bubble and the berries have released their juices, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

Frosting Preparation

  1. 10

    Beat Cream Cheese and Butter

    In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and unsalted butter together until smooth and creamy.

  2. 11

    Add Sugar and Vanilla

    Gradually add the powdered sugar and mix until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Assembling the Cake

  1. 12

    Layer the Cake

    Place one layer of the cake on a serving plate. Spread half of the berry filling over the cake layer.

  2. 13

    Add Frosting

    Spread a layer of frosting over the berry filling. Place the second cake layer on top.

  3. 14

    Top with Berries

    Spread the remaining berry filling over the top of the second cake layer. Decorate with additional fresh berries if desired.

  4. 15

    Serve

    Slice the cake and serve immediately, enjoying the delightful layers of berries and frosting.
