A heavenly dessert featuring soft layers of sponge cake, luscious mascarpone cream, and a medley of fresh strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries. Perfect for special occasions or a weekend treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120g) sifted flour
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • 16oz (450g) mascarpone cheese
  • 1/3 cup (65g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry the berries thoroughly. Hull the strawberries and slice them thinly. Set aside in separate bowls.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 8-inch round cake pans.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk 4 large eggs and 3/4 cup (150g) sugar until pale and fluffy. Fold in 1 cup (120g) sifted flour and a pinch of salt.
  4. Divide the batter between the pans and bake for 20-25 minutes. Cool completely.
  5. In a bowl, beat 16oz (450g) mascarpone cheese with 1/3 cup (65g) sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth.
  6. In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture gently.
  7. Place one sponge cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous amount of mascarpone cream on top and layer with strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries.
  8. Repeat with the second layer, finishing with cream and berries.
  9. Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours to let the flavors meld and the filling set.
  10. Dust with powdered sugar just before serving.

Notes

For best results, chill the mixing bowl and beaters before whipping the cream. Arrange berries in concentric circles for a beautiful presentation. If the sponge cake is uneven, trim the tops with a serrated knife.
