berries heaven on earth cake.

Step 2: Prepare the Berry Filling

1. Cook berries: In a small saucepan, combine the berries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the berries release their juices and slightly thicken (about 5–7 minutes).
2. Cool: Let the berry mixture cool completely before using it as a filling.

Step 3: Make the Frosting

1. Whip cream: In a chilled mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream until it starts to thicken.
2. Add sugar and flavor: Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Continue to beat until stiff peaks form.
3. Keep chilled: Store the whipped cream in the refrigerator until ready to assemble.

Step 4: Assemble the Cake

1. Level the cakes: If needed, level the tops of the sponge cakes using a serrated knife for an even layer.
2. Layer cake: Place one sponge layer on a serving plate. Spread half of the berry filling evenly over the top. Then spread a layer of whipped cream over the berries.
3. Add second layer: Place the second sponge layer on top. Frost the top and sides with the remaining whipped cream.
4. Decorate: Top the cake with fresh berries, mint leaves, and a light dusting of powdered sugar for a beautiful finish.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

• Chill the cake for at least 30 minutes before slicing. This helps the flavors meld and makes cutting easier.
• Slice with a sharp knife and serve each piece with extra berries for a decadent experience.

Tips for Success

• Use fresh, ripe berries for the best flavor. Frozen berries can be used but may release extra juice, which can make the cake slightly soggy.
• Don’t overmix the batter—this ensures a light, airy sponge.
• Chill the frosting if it becomes too soft while assembling.
• Add a splash of berry syrup between layers for extra juiciness.
