Seventh Heaven Cake
Ingredients:
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 1/2 cups sugar
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 3 large eggs
– 1 cup milk
– 1 tablespoon baking powder
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup fresh mixed berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries)
For the Cream Cheese Frosting:
– 8 oz cream cheese, softened
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 4 cups powdered sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Fresh berries for garnish
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans. Line the bottoms with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, and mix until just combined.
4. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula and tap the pans gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
5. Bake the cakes in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
6. While the cakes are cooling, prepare the cream cheese frosting. In a mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until creamy and smooth.
7. Once the cakes have cooled, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of cream cheese frosting over the top. Arrange a mixture of fresh berries over the frosting, reserving some for garnish.
8. Carefully place the second cake layer on top and frost the entire cake with the remaining cream cheese frosting. Decorate the top with additional fresh berries.
9. Refrigerate the Seventh Heaven Cake for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together. Slice and enjoy this heavenly dessert with your loved ones!
