Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups cake flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup milk
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 2 cups mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
  • 1 cup berry sauce (store-bought or homemade)

How to Make Berry Topped Cake

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the cake flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Once cooled, top the cake with mixed fresh berries and drizzle with berry sauce.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Ensure your butter is at room temperature for easy creaming.
  • Don’t overmix the batter; mix until just combined to keep the cake light.
  • Use a variety of berries for a colorful and flavorful topping.
  • If making berry sauce from scratch, simmer berries with a bit of sugar and lemon juice until thickened.

Easy Variations

  • Swap out the mixed berries for peaches or cherries for a different flavor profile.
  • Add a layer of whipped cream between the cake and the berries for extra richness.
  • Incorporate lemon zest into the batter for a citrusy twist.

What to Serve With It

  • A dollop of whipped cream or crème fraîche.
  • A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a classic pairing.
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish to enhance the presentation.
  • A cup of herbal tea or coffee for a delightful afternoon treat.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you prefer, you can refrigerate it for a longer shelf life. To enjoy it warm, pop individual slices in the microwave for a few seconds.
