Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cake Recipes

Yield Makes 1 9-inch layer cake

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 12-ounce box vanilla wafers
1 pound strawberries, hulled
3 cups heavy cream
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 cup blueberries
1 cup raspberries

Steps:

  • Line the sides of a 9"x3" springform pan with parchment paper strips. Lay half the vanilla wafers on the bottom of the pan in overlapping concentric circles.
  • Puree strawberries in a food processor. In a large bowl or stand mixer, whisk whipped cream and sugar to soft peaks. Remove 2/3 of the whipped cream from the bowl. Fold the strawberry puree into the remaining 1/3 whipped cream.
  • Put 1 cup plain whipped cream into a large resealable plastic bag. Snip off one corner of the bag. Pipe the cream over the wafers, along the sides of the pan, to create a one-inch dam. Pour the strawberry whipped cream into the center of the pan and spread the edges to the dam.
  • Place the remaining cookies over the cream. Top the cookies with the remaining cream, spread to the edges of the pan, and smooth to level. Place the blueberries evenly over one third of the cream. Place the raspberries in four or five stripes to create a flag pattern.
  • Chill at least 8 hours or up to overnight. Remove the sides of the springform pan and the parchment. Cut cake into wedges and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe and flavorful berries. This will ensure that your cake is bursting with flavor.
  • Use a variety of berries. This will give your cake a beautiful and festive appearance.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before mixing. This will help to ensure a smooth and creamy filling.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough and dense cake.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can result in a dry and crumbly cake.
  • Let the cake cool completely before assembling. This will help to prevent the cake from falling apart.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the cake. This will help to create clean and even slices.
