Ingredients
  

Berry Vanilla Cake

  • 4 pcs Eggland's Best eggs separated
  • ¾ cup butter softened
  • 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 ½ cups sugar
  • 2 ½ cups all purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk whole is best, but 2% works as well
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • cup sour cream

Berry Puree

  • 1 cup strawberries hulled
  • 1 cup raspberries
  • ½ cup sugar

Lemon Whipped Cream

  • 1 pint heavy whipping cream
  • 1 8 oz container whipped cream cheese
  • 2 tablespoon lemon zest about the zest of 2 large lemons
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup raspberries
  • ½ cup strawberries sliced and hulled

Topping

  • Strawberries
  • Raspberries

Instructions
 

Berry Puree

  • In a blender or food processor, puree strawberries, raspberries, and sugar together. With a sieve, drain the puree to remove all of the seeds. Set aside.

Cake

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease three 9" cake pans or line with parchment paper.
  • Separate the 4 Eggland's Best eggs and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream butter until light and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes. Add in vegetable oil and beat for another minute.
  • Gradually add in sugar, ½ cup at a time, beating until well combined. Add in egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, mix together milk, vanilla extract, and sour cream.
  • Alternately add dry and wet ingredients into the creamed butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined.
  • Beat egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Gently fold egg whites into the cake batter until completely combined.
  • Divide batter evenly in cake pans.
  • Dollop 4-5 tablespoon of puree in each cake pan, using a toothpick or knife to swirl the puree with the batter.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean. Allow to cool.

Lemon Whipped Cream

  • With a mixer on high, beat heavy whipping cream until it begins to thicken. Add in lemon zest, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract, and beat until soft peaks form.
  • Add whipped cream cheese to the whipped cream, and beat until well incorporated and stiff peaks form.
  • Once cakes are cooled, remove from the cake pans. Place the bottom layer on a flat plate or cake stand and top with about 1 cup of lemon whipped cream, spreading almost to the edges. Place a few raspberries and strawberries evenly throughout the cream.
  • Place the second layer on top and top with about 1 cup of lemon whipped cream, spreading almost to the edges, and add raspberries and strawberries.
  • Place the final layer on top and spread the remaining whipped cream on top.
  • Top with fresh strawberries and raspberries.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

The whipped cream frosting is stabilized with the addition of cream cheese and can be left at room temperature for a few hours. However, leftovers should be stored in the fridge.
