You’re just gonna LOVE how easy (and delicious) this berry cake is to make! Not only does it look fabulous but when you try a slice of this popular spongey cake you’ll want to make it over and over again!
It’s strawberry season in CT and now is the time to stock up on these before the window closes. And although blueberry season is not until mid July, you can easily find them at your local grocer in order to make this fabulous cake.
As much as I prefer to cook things from scratch, every so often I rely on store bought items in order to make life a tad easier. This recipe is made with that thought in mind. Store bought angel food cake, seasonal fresh berries and a simple whipped cream recipe brings it all together!
I use this same recipe when making strawberry shortcakes. I usually like to get the smaller individual cakes and then garnish with fresh whipped cream and lots of strawberries. It’s truly so simple to make and everyone loves them. The berries on this one are so creative and gives off that festive summer vibe and I love how refreshing it is!
When putting together the cake, don’t worry about the less than perfect look. It’s a fun, rustic take on a popular summer desert that’s not supposed to be perfect. It’s what gives the dessert more charm!
