Beautiful – It’s is an absolute show stopper on any table thanks to the vibrant color of the berries that make it almost too pretty to eat.
How to Make Berry Cake:
Bake Cake: Make the cake batter then divide it evenly among 3 round cake pans, to make three thin cake layers. Bake as instructed, remove from pans, then allow to cool completely before assembling. Wash fruit, then pat dry with a paper towel. Slice strawberries. Make Lemon Mousse: Follow my lemon mousse recipe. This can be made in advance, if desired. Assemble: Place one cake round on a serving plate. Spoon ½ – 2/3 cup mousse onto the cake and smooth it towards the edges, leaving at least 1” of cake uncovered around the edge. Place an assortment of berries on top then repeat with remaining layers of cake. Serve, or cover well and refrigerate until ready to serve.
